She came to retrieve a manuscript and lost her heart to the beast.
I was sent to force Maxim Behr-famous, reclusive thriller author-to finish the manuscript he owes to the publishing house where I work. And okay, maybe I was a tiny bit excited to meet the man whose voice I memorized over our many phone calls where we argued about commas and semicolons. And whose brooding author photo I might be half in love with...
But Max isn't thrilled to see me. In fact he tries to send me away the second I show up at his doorstep. And when I insist I'll do whatever it takes to get his book, he doesn't just look offended-he looks furious. Turns out, he thinks I'm offering something wildly inappropriate. (Which, wow, no! I might be young and a little naive, but not like that.)
Then I find out why he's so wary and my heart shatters when I think he's complicit. I liked Max. Now I want nothing more than to leave him and his secrets behind.
Except Max won't let me go. This time, he's the one with something to prove-because now he's determined to keep me safe.
But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize he's hiding something much bigger than an unfinished manuscript. Something impossible. Something glowing. And just when I think that maybe we can make things work, the lawsuits from New York start rolling in...
Her Reclusive Beast is a burning hot forced-proximity romance with an older, secretive hero, an undeniable mate bond, and a twist that changes everything!
