Second
Book in the Curse of the Beast Series

Book Description:
Chel finished
tying me to the chair and stood. “This is crazy.”
I ignored her
comment. “Go down to the basement.”
“Now, I know
you’ve lost it.” She folded her arms. “How will this prove that your giant dog
is the hot guy that got in your van?”
“I’ll explain
later. Just trust me.”
One of her
eyebrows rose.
“Please?” I waited
for her to nod. “Once you’re down there, I want you to whisper something. Then
come back up.”
“Whatever.” With
an eye roll, she left the room.
I focused on her
feet thumping against the wood stairs and heard the change when they slapped
across the tiled kitchen floor. Once the basement door closed, I strained to
hear her, but all I caught was a beetle scuttling across the kitchen. Nerves
tangled in my gut. Had I missed it?
“If this doesn’t
work, I’m calling the loony bin, Tay.” Chel’s
voice rang so loud that I jerked back, toppling the chair. I hit the floor with
a thud.
Beast’s airy
chortle resonated from outside the window.
“Shut up. This
isn’t funny,” I told him.
Chel walked
through the door. “Geeze, what happened?” She hurried to me. “Are you okay?”
She righted my chair with a grunt.
“That depends.”
“On?” She cocked
an eyebrow at me.
“On whether or
not you’re going to untie me.”
“Oh my gosh. I’m
so sorry.” She scrambled to untie the knots.
My hands slipped
free and I rubbed my bruised arm. “What kind of friend are you?”
“What?” She
startled.
I shook my head at
her. “I can’t believe you’d commit me.”
“Wait, you heard
that?” Her eyes widened.
I repeated it word
for word.
“Whoa, that’s,
like, creepy and awesome at the same time. But I still don’t understand how
this proves your dog is a werewolf.”
The dreaded moment
had arrived and nerves attacked my stomach. “Because, Chel—he bit me.”
Seventeen-year-old Tayla will never
forget Beast’s fiery-venom spreading through her body like an infection. Now,
with her best friend Chel’s help, she must find a human true love before the
last petal falls from her enchanted rose or the full moon will transform her
into a wolf forever.
But Tayla never expected that her
biggest obstacle would come from inside—a wolf presence threatening to take her
very soul. At every turn, the she-wolf exploits Tayla’s weaknesses and gains enough
control to sabotage her dates. Tayla struggles to control her unruly wolf and
her forbidden attraction to Beast. But can she resist his southern charm, the
she-wolf’s attraction to his alluring scent, and still fall in love with a human?
Tangled in a web of wills, Tayla
must risk everything to break the Curse of the Beast. With failure and possible
death looming overhead, Tayla will do anything to find true love. But will one
moon cycle be long enough to conquer her wolf and remain human? Or will she
become a permanent member of Beast’s pack? Find out in
the second installment in the Curse of the Beast series.
