TAME his BEAST part 1
A Devil’s Highwaymen Story
‘Remember, the Devil was once an angel too’
Beast, an enforcer for the Devil’s Highwaymen MC, wakes up months after being captured and tortured by another club and discovers brutal and ugly scars covering over half his body.
Once a beautiful man, able to woo any woman into his bed, now his face and body are their own horror story.
Though the torture has stopped, Beast continues to relive the agony. He can’t tell anyone about the nightmares he keeps having or about the fear and depression that are tearing him apart inside. He’s the club’s weapon, and he can’t show weakness.
With no one to trust and nowhere to go, his fear slowly dissolves into rage.
Belle is working as a trainee nurse at Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital when Beast is brought in. She’s at first fearful of the dark-eyed man, and the MC behind him, but refuses to let anyone see that.
Brought up by her godmother, she’s been taught to trust her instincts and always see the beauty in people…even if at first you only see the ugly.
He’s full of loneliness and anger.
She’s full of hope and love.
Can Belle see behind the beast and thaw his heart before his rage engulfs him? Or will the broken monster destroy her right alongside himself?
* ‘Tame his Beast’ is a standalone MC romance set in the Devil’s Highwaymen world.

COMING 2021!
Victoria Cage’s story continues in her 4th book HELLHOLE BAY.
Blurb
A blood-soaked invitation from the Dark Court clashes with the hunt for a werewolf murderer in the fourth installment of the Victoria Cage series.
Victoria is living with her grandmother’s spirit and it’s like she’s back in high school again. There are curfews, house rules, twenty questions, granny panties replacing her sexy underwear, and a lot of well-intentioned, unwanted advice. Victoria is a powerful necromancer… she’s a freaking queen. But none of that matters when you’ve got a tiny transparent housemate who’s strong enough to wield a wooden spoon and yell at you for letting her beloved business burn to the ground.
Outside the walls of the suffocating rambler is Hellhole Bay, a.k.a. kryptonite for Victoria’s powers. Ghosts cling to trees, spirits cloud the air with unfinished business, and malevolent souls dip in and out of the anti-ether for a swim in the pungent, trash-riddled water. It’s sensory overload… and that means she can’t sense what danger’s coming next.
And it’s not just the crowded afterlife activity and her dead grandmother driving Victoria crazy.
Repairs to the funeral home are going supernaturally-slow. She also can’t sleep, not with the chorus of wolves howling every night. Her tall, dark, and furry beau is acting way stranger than normal. And much to her dismay, she’s getting approached by Dark Court dignitaries who tell her that their king wants her at some great Feast of Madness.
More than ever, Victoria needs advice. Liam-brand advice. Only… he seems to be gone for good.

**Sex & Language Warning**
Victoria Cage has sex… people around her curse. There are dead people sprinkled between i
nstances of profanity (okay, maybe the language isn’t that bad). The Victoria Cage series will also deal with some heavy material—child trafficking, gender acceptance, rape. If you can take the dark with the light, you might just love this series. Me personally? I’m all about the shadows in between.

Read on for a sneak peek…
Chapter One
It’s not every day that you wake up to your tiny ghost grandmother hovering over your bed announcing, in a loud sportscaster-style voice, that your bear shifter beau is waiting in the living room… and he’s completely naked.
“Wait, what?” I murmur, swiping at my face and hoping to knock away the sleep haze. I’d only been lost in la-la land a few hours, not nearly enough to recharge. And the sleep I did get felt… haunted. Well, because it was haunted. Being this close to Hellhole Bay is torture to my necromancer senses. And I can’t salt the house or try any magical ‘keep out spirits’ signs, because doing so will mean ousting my grandmother.
Not that it’s natural for her to still exist on the human plane and she still hasn’t explained why she’s not crossed over. If she’s been hanging around her house all this time, why hadn’t she reached out to me before now?
“I said,” the familiar apparition floating above me barks loudly, “I’ve got a naked ass on my couch and that ass belongs to a sometimes-bear who says he’s your lover. Now, you might like that naked ass on your couch, but I’m inclined to shoo the big boy out if you don’t hurry the heck up.”
“Grandmother,” I scoff, “language.”
“I’m dead, Piccola morte. I’ve watched my language long enough. Now that boy’s gonna join me on the see-through side of things if you don’t get your sleepy butt outta this bed.” She lowers down and her ghostly hands grab the bedding, pulling it off with a vicious yank that shouldn’t be possible for a very dead person without a physical body. I mean the super undead and super angry can push and manipulate things, but Grandmother has a bodybuilder’s strength going on and she hasn’t gone bad-to-the-bone vengeful spirit. I mean, not as far as I can tell.
Even dead, the woman is full of surprises.
“How do you do that?” I ask, swinging my legs off the bed and sitting up. “I mean, you’re not a wraith.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Then how are you able to touch things?”
“You still have so much to learn, my little death. But first things first.” She snaps her small fingers and I snap to attention like a good little girl, getting off the bed and tugging my too-short pajama bottoms down from where they’ve bunched against my crotch whilst I slept. I’ve been tossing and turning a lot lately. It would be way easier to just sleep in the nude… but there’s the little issue of currently having a ‘flies through walls and never knocks’ housemate. When I stand, Grandmother slaps me on the ass gently to hurry me forward. “You get that naked boy off my vintage floral pattern, child.”
“Seriously!” I exclaim, bouncing forward and covering my rear. “I am a grown adult. Stop it.”
“Dead or alive, I’m still in charge,” she says gleefully. And I find it’s very unfair that she can hit me, but I’ve no real recourse. I mean, she’s my grandmother. I’m not exactly going to excise her soul from her own damn house.
Even if the thought is hella tempting…
