Jessie Ann Ward grew up the only wild dog among
wolves. Smaller than all the other girls in school, she is
the perfect target for bullies. The only person who
doesn't treat her differently, and is always there to
rescue her is Bobbie Ray Smith. Jessie Ann is in love.
The only problem is, except for being there to pull her
from under the bleachers, or out of the heating ducts to
save her from his sister, Bobbie Ray is never interested in
anything else.
She's short and skinny, and a little bit of a nerd, but
Bobbie Ray can't get Jessie Ann off his mind, or out of his
heart. But Jessie is the forever type of girl, not some
girl to scratch an itch. Needing a life away from his
dominating father, Bobbie Ray has to get out of town. He
decides the Navy is his answer. Unfortunately, the night
he has to leave is the night Jessie Ann takes a chance to
move their relationship to the next level. Bobbie Ray is
forced to make a split decision between his freedom, and
Jessie Ann. He chooses the Navy.
Never forgetting the night that Bobbie Ray spurned her,
Jessie Ann makes it her mission to show Bobbie Ray what he
left behind. As a successful business woman and Alpha
Female of a wild dog pack, she's doing great. And years
later, she's rubbing Bobbie Ray's nose in it. The only
thing missing is someone to fill her heart like Bobbie Ray
did. But there is no way she'll ever let him know it,
because she's never letting herself get hurt like that
again.
Confused and frustrated, Bobbie Ray can't understand
why Jessie Ann doesn't remember the crush he knew she had
on him. He is Bobbie Ray Smith of the Smith Pack. How
could she not be interested in him? But Bobbie Ray is a
wolf, and a wolf loves a good chase. Lucky for him, Jessie
Ann's pack is in trouble, and Bobbie Ray knows he is just
the wolf to handle this little wild dog's crisis.
THE BEAST IN HIM is a delightful, fresh read. Shelly
Laurenston brings a whole new essence to the world of shape-
shifters: Down home, southern loving with fangs and
claws.
Some things are so worth waiting for. Like the moment when
Jessica Ward "accidentally" bumps into Bobby Ray Smith and
shows him just how far she's come since high school. Back
then, Jess's gangly limbs and bruised heart turn to jelly
any time Smitty's "all the better to ravish you with" body
came near her. So, some things haven't changed. Except now
Jess is a success on her own terms. And she can enjoy a
romp-or twenty-with a big, bad wolf and walk away. Easy.
The sexy, polished CEO who hires Smitty's security firm
might be a million miles from the loveable geek he knew,
but her kiss, her touch, is every bit as hot as he
imagined. Jess was never the kind to ask for help, and she
doesn't want it now, not even with someone targeting her
Pack. But Smitty's not going to turn tail and run. Not
before proving that their sheet-scorching animal lust is
only the start of something even wilder…
