“No one will ever look past these scars.” Once a popular singer, Griffin lost everything to a fire. Society cast him aside when it became clear he was no longer handsome. Sure that no one will ever see beyond the scars that have ruined half of his body, he turns to desperate measures to find companionship. “How can I do anything but surrender?” Kidnapped because of his looks, Ryder is delivered to Griffin to become anything his master wants him to be. He is repeatedly forced to choose between humiliation and worse. Each time he obeys Griffin, a piece of him breaks away. Can he truly refuse when every option is worse than the next? In this psychological drama, two men struggle with their definitions of what society labels beauty as opposed to a beast… and they learn that the true definition of beauty might not be as clear as they’d thought.

Sequel to The Beast's Beauty. "He was breaking me, even if it was slower than when I'd been his pup. Even if I'd started to like it sometimes... Or maybe it was because I'd started to like it." Kidnapped by a formerly popular musician, Ryder slowly loses himself in the trap Griffin has set for him. Stripped of his life, his dignity, and even his name, he fights to cling to what little he can of what he was. But as Griffin starts to soften toward "Toby," Ryder finds himself wondering if being with the man is really so bad... "I wanted him to submit, not out of fear, but out of desire. But if desire wasn't possible, I would settle for what I could get." Desperate for a companion who could look past his scars, Griffin arranged for the kidnapping of a college student: "Toby." As Toby resists becoming his pup and starts to become his kitten instead, Griffin must evaluate his choices and decide whether he's willing to compromise with his captive for the chance at something more. If he can get Toby to bend instead of break, he can have everything he wanted. But how far can he push before it's too far...
