Our take
Maybel Jacobs is shy, sweet, and unknowingly caught in his sights. He’s ruthless, rich, and obsessed with making her his. When she enters the dangerous Hunt, she steps into his world—a place where predators play by no rules, and prey rarely escapes. She’s his perfect bait, but will claiming her mean breaking her?
Choose your retailer
About the book
She needs me, because she needs money.
I don’t need her. Just her complete submission…
Maybel Jacobs is the Wallflower, quiet, shy, socially awkward and hell-bent on hiding even from herself, that is until a chance encounter takes place between us. Instantly she hates me and for good reason. I'm a walking-red-flag. Filthy rich jock, short tempered, and violent. I can have anyone and anything I want.. except her.
Little does she know her disgust, anger, and hate for me fuels my obsession to own her, completely in every single way.
Maybell resists, predictably... but her fight only makes her more desirable and I have plans that will lead her right into my lap and never want to leave.
When she joins the sinful tradition put on by the elite of the town, the Hunt, I’m shocked. The pretty little thing has no idea how much danger she’s in if she decides to become my prey.
Sweet, innocent, and fragile like a flower. I'll have to be careful or risk breaking her.
Because I’m the ultimate predator and when I play there are no rules.
I don’t chase. I capture.
And I like to own my bait.
