Jag is a man who has supreme control over his actions and THE BEAST WITHIN, but lately a dream woman is tempting his stringent control. She calls to his beast and threatens his soul. When his dream woman comes walking into his reality, he wonders about her intentions. Is she in league with the Darkland Beasts? Is he harboring an enemy? Or is she as innocent as she appears to be? Will he be able to control his beast or will he allow it free reign over his passions?

When her sister Eva needs her, Karen finds herself on a plane ready to aid her sister any way she can. The doctors try to tell her that Eva harmed herself, but Karen isn't buying that explanation. There are obvious bite marks on her, and her sister even mentioned a name. She has heard the stories of the beasts that prey on innocents, but she never truly believed they were real. She is told that the only aid for her sister is to be found at Jaguar ranch, coincidently, the place where the warriors who fight the beasts reside. When Karen sees Jag at the ranch, she feels as if she should know him. When she dreams about him that night, she remembers other dream encounters. Is there some reason for these dreams? Is there more truth to those stories than anyone knows? Will these people be able to help her sister?
