\"Degas<\/a>Serenity Bishop is a work of art. Her skin a canvas, decorated with the scars of her evil captor\u2019s twisted abuse. But her tormentor, Angelo, is about to lose control.<\/span><\/div>\n

Zachary Schiavelli is an art thief and forger. His handsome face is merely the mask that hides a cold, calculating man whose own childhood of abuse has honed him into a remorseless killing machine.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zachary is about to take an intense disliking to Angelo.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a violent tale of mob rule where violence begets violence, an unlikely alliance between two forces of nature is about to change the face of organized crime. When Serenity and Zachary collide, it\u2019s an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, and everyone around them is about to get caught in the crossfire.<\/span><\/div>\n

\"degas6.jpg\"<\/a>He wore jeans and a turquoise T-shirt. The colour made his eyes look blue instead of green. I wasn\u2019t fooled by his looks and his gentle ways. This man had a will of iron, and by the way he looked at me, I could see he was just as determined to control me as Angelo. He just used his tongue instead of his fists.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019d go along with it, because anything that kept me out of the hole meant I had a chance to escape. I\u2019d pretend to be docile, and as soon as he fell asleep or took his eye off me, I\u2019d make a run for it.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

He looked me over, frowning slightly. Suddenly I wondered if he was changing his mind. Maybe he wasn\u2019t going to let me eat. Maybe it was a game. Maybe he\u2019d show me the food, and then tie me up and leave me to starve while he stuffed his face. I was trembling at the thought. <\/span><\/div>\n

\"beast<\/a>He stuck the knife in the ground and stripped off his leathers. The tunic came off, revealing a long, lean, muscled torso, covered in tattoos. Snakes ran up and down his arms, his pecs and his shoulders. A skull blazed on his chest. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Then he was pushing apart my legs, settling between my thighs, leaning over me. He smelled of smoke, leather and musk. It was terrifying, like being at the mercy of an animal.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Falsely accused, Wynne is determined to clear her name. However, a trip to petition the Steward at Brighthelme turns disastrous when the Beasts, fearsome warriors from the frozen north, raze the city. When Wynne is carried away, she\u2019s determined to regain her freedom but Rune, her captor, has other ideas. <\/span><\/div>\n

Beast is set in Prydain, an imaginary place that combines Anglo-Saxon England with Medieval England, the Teutonic Kingdom and the Viking Age.

\u201cWhoo! I like her!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

Crush is a man who enjoys performing to the stereotypical outlaw biker image. This time I could see he meant it, and so did the girl. She opened her mouth, spotted Crush\u2019s cut and went very quiet.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t have her. She\u2019s my collateral.\u201d I pulled her towards me, snapped through her ankle ties with the box cutter and threw her over my shoulder. She muttered furiously, but she\u2019d stopped fighting. I could feel her raise her head and look over the crowd of gathering Disciples. She shivered and went limp. I guess she didn\u2019t like the look of the party.<\/span><\/div>\n
Crush was still curious. \u201cCollateral for what?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the big boss.\u201d She looked up at me and smiled. She was dressed in a cheap cotton shirt and jeans that should be on the burn pile, but that smile was pure gold. This girl had guts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI told Jos\u00e9 he was a fool to try and cheat you,\u201d she said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t part of it, and I don\u2019t work for you. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
She\u2019d heard about our policy protecting bystanders. Of course it doesn\u2019t apply to anyone whose eyewitness testimony can put me in a courtroom. Well, try to put me in a courtroom. In Mexico nobody would dare accuse me, and I\u2019ve enough resources in England to guarantee a police investigation would come to nothing, but it\u2019s not my style to take chances. Solitaire would be going into the ground along with Escamilla.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cMr Vazquez,\u201d Solitaire gave me her best smile. \u201cI don\u2019t expect something for nothing.\u201d She dropped her voice. \u201cYou\u2019d like me,\u201d she whispered. \u201cI\u2019ve heard about you. We\u2019re the same.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAre we?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYes, I can make you very happy.\u201d She brushed my hand over her cheek and then kissed my palm. \u201cI\u2019m a very good girl,\u201d she said quietly. \u201cUnless you prefer a naughty one?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cBruja mala leche! What the fuck do you think you\u2019re playing at! You can\u2019t push me around!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cWhat the hell are you talking about?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got a situation. I need someone who isn\u2019t afraid of murder and mayhem.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
I should have charmed her, offered to help and maybe it would have settled it, but I was too mad to even consider it. \u201cHelp you? Over my dead fucking body!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
She shrugged. \u201cWe can do it that way, too.\u201d She took out her phone. \u201cI\u2019ll call you soon, hopefully within the hour. If you still refuse, I call Smith.\u201d The eyes were hard. \u201cI\u2019d rather not shop you, because I hate that bastard, but I will if you make me.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
I gave her my number. I mean, I wanted to kill her, but in London they notice things like bodies in the street. Especially if you\u2019re careless enough to do it in broad daylight next to a cop shop. <\/span><\/div>\n
