Delicate Obsession

<p>My brother promised his friend Perla she'd be safe from her stalker if she came home from college with him for winter break. I'm betting he didn't count on me even knowing she was there. I'm supposed to be out of town on assignment for my boss the unapologetic king of organized crime in St. Louis.</p><p>Then my security monitors alert me to their presence and one look at the friend he snuck into my house changes those plans in an instant. Never thought of myself as the sort of man who'd steal his own brother's girl. But they call me the Beast of the Allard crime family for a reason and I'll have Perla in my bed and bred by the time spring semester starts.</p><p>A Beast always gets his Beauty.</p>
