Beastly

Victor Marshall:
In business I'm known as "Beastly" and I live up to that title in as many ways as I can. I work and that's my whole life and I don't care who I take down as long as my business doesn't suffer. But all that changes when I see Bonnie McCalllum for the first time. I no longer care about anything but claiming her as mine.
Her silver-grey eyes, hidden behind dark-rimmed glasses, show a disturbing awareness and intelligence that I want to delve into her. Her dark hair begs my fingers to tear the silky strands out of the coil on the back of her delicate throat. Her rosy-red lips smirk at me and I'm aching to kiss her until she gives in to me. Gives in to the flicker of fire that heated the air between us as she walked by.
One look...that's all it took and I knew she belonged to me.
My plan is easy. Tear her father's business apart until he comes begging to me to leave his company alone and then insist on the one thing that I want. My woman.
In less than a month, I've got him meeting me, asking for leniency for his company. Asking what he can do to ease our relations. Which is when I bring up what I want. It takes seconds for him to give in.
I've got my little hellion right where I want her. Now I just have to keep her with me every second of the day until she agrees to marry me. This beast has his woman in his sights and I intend to have her, forever.
Bonnie McCallum:
Traded for my father's company. I knew the man was mad at me after my mother died giving birth to me but I had no idea that he might use me, just like I'm a piece of office equipment.
Trading me to "Beastly" to save and protect his company is a low blow that I was never expecting.
Victor is bossy, angry and overbearing. He won't let me out of his sight until I give in and marry him, giving me the heir that he desires for his own empire. One night together is all we get before evil machinations separate me from him. But there's nothing on this earth that can keep us apart and I know that my "Beastly" is coming for me. I just hope that he's not too late.
