In the woods, anything goes.
I've been fantasizing about hunting Claire Collins since I met her. Obsession is a strong word, but my fixation is dangerously close. When her ex-husband leaves her with a mountain of debt, I propose a solution that will benefit us both.
For thirty days, she's mine to devour, and at the end, she'll leave with enough money to pay her debts and then some.
There's just one issue …
Claire's supposed to be my prey, but she's sinking her teeth deeper into my heart every time I catch her.
***
Thirty days as prey, $30,000 in my bank account. Enough money to pay off my debts and start over post-divorce. All I have to do is give Shane Underwood the hunt of his life.
By day, he's a corporate lawyer, so this should be simple, right?
Wrong.
Shane's different in the woods.
Brutal.
Devastating.
Feral.
But that's okay, I am too.
“Are you sure you’re a lawyer? Because you’re not great at this whole talking thing.”
“I’m great in the courtroom,” he grumbles. Dropping his hand, he toys with the edge of my T-shirt. “It’s corporate law. If I lose a case, it sucks, but the world keeps turning.”
There’s a lump in my throat, and it grows when his eyes meet mine.
He sounds as unsteady as I feel when he says, “If I lose you, I don’t think it will.”

“I hated leaving yesterday. I was miserable.”
“Good,” he says emphatically.
Sniffing, I glare at him.
The look he gives me back is stern. “Remember how miserable it felt, and don’t ever do it again.”
