Desparion—the place where they put men with an inner monster. A place no sensible citizen goes unless they’re seeking a dark, unrestrained kind of thrill. That’s me. The thrill-seeker. Well, not usually, but it’s my birthday, and I’m making an exception. Only, I think I might have taken on more than I can handle… Ryder—no other comes close to his level of raw sex appeal. All the smoldering good looks that a girl expects from his kind of man, along with a brooding stillness that makes me shiver from the other side of the room like he sees things beyond the understanding of us mere mortals. What did I do about it? I propositioned him. Told him it was my birthday and I’d like him as my present. I just wanted to take a big bite out of all that hotness. And that was when I discovered that alphas bite back. Ryder is book two in the Her Monster series, an extra spicy dystopian romance.
