Her voice is too curt, and her shifty look is downright confusing. I'm pretty sure she's asking for help, and it gets me to thinking. Four weeks ago, I almost lost her to hypothermia, while her employer, my ex-roommate, chased her into the woods. What if he's back? Maybe, that's why she's acting so strange. Whatever the reason, I'm sure as hell not letting her go. I'll fight to the death to keep what's mine safe.

What if all I got isn't enough? When you get right down to it, I am one mean son of a gun and make no apologies. You can’t own a billion-dollar company and be anything less. There’s just one thing I regret. I'm turning into the person I hated most growing up, but even he had the decency to walk out. Me, not so much.

Blake’s the only reason I would ever come back to my sleepy hometown in the Montana mountains. I’ve loved him for years, and all I want is a chance to get him to love me back.

Until I meet the leader of the Flamethrowers. They’re a motorcycle club with a special secret, and they might actually know what’s happening to me, and how to control it. Plus, their leader is impossible to resist.

My name is Andrew McCarthy. You may have heard of me. Or heard whispers about me. I’m the man your nightmares are made of. I’m the man who is the source of your fantasies. I’m the devil in the darkness. I’m the man of your dreams. Desire and darkness. Fantasy and fear. I am the head of the McCarthy mob. Anything I want, I get. And the first time I see her - Kyra Bahmer - I know she belongs to me. I know I will have her.

How dare she barge into my office and threaten to take me to court? I’d bet millions that she barely pays her rent, not with the salary my dad pays. Still, she’s got some balls, I give her that. She must know I don’t need a big scandal, not just as I’m taking the company public. What’s she up to? I know just how to find out.

I've been told I got issues with authority but it's not true. As long as no one's trying to be an asshole, I'm perfectly fine. The baby-faced FBI agent shows me a picture of Sonia and I groan. I met her at the Sochi games, a beautiful Russian ice princess. Even at 17, she was destined for Olympic gold. Rumor is, her family money comes from illegal activities, and although nothing has ever been proved, I know I'm in deep sh-t.

There's no way she's tough enough to get me into shape. When my physical therapist's ex locks her out and takes everything she owns, I want to help. However, a recent, unfortunate incident has social media all over me. Risking all, I offer her cold, hard, cash but she refuses, suggesting I'm trying to buy her sexual favors. Now she's got this ridiculous idea she can get back on her feet with a wedding.
