Romance Suspense | Romance | Paranormal

Jag is the leader of an immortal group of warriors known as the Knights of White. Their purpose is to destroy the Darkland Beasts, truly evil creatures devoid of a soul. 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?

Karen Gibson is a woman who is trying to find someplace where she fits in. She has a wandering soul and no place ever seems right. 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?

Lisa Renee Jones has written an exciting tale of good versus evil. The Knights of White help protect humanity from the Darkland Beasts who would steal human souls. The leader of the Knights is about to meet his equal, and when he does sparks are going to fly. Jag and Karen are perfectly suited for each other. She is the one thing he wants, but also the one thing he denies himself. The rest of the characters are engaging and their stories are something to look forward to. The story is laced with spicy romance and intense action that combine to create a sizzling tale. THE BEAST WITHIN is an enchanting paranormal romance, and a great addition to any book lover's library.

SUMMARY

Only passion can soothe the beast within…

Known only as Jag, he leads the Knights of White against the soulless Darkland Beasts who took his wife and his life. Jag is immortal, destined to live with the vengeance he feels in his heart and the dreams that haunt his soul. Sensual dreams of a woman. Dreams that threaten to unleash the beast within.…

Karen Gibson is an innocent mortal, unwittingly thrown into this millennia-old battle, and—unwillingly—under Jag's protection. She and Jag are about to discover that they have met before—in the dreams they share.

Neither trusts the other. Neither can survive alone. The secret of those erotic dreams may be all that saves them—if Jag can only accept it. At risk is Karen's life. And Jag's immortal soul.…
