SAVAGE DESIGN

He hired me to build walls. He didn't warn me about the beast living behind them.

By: Raven Desire

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Iria Thorpe fixes broken spaces. It’s what she does. So when an anonymous billionaire offers her a career-defining paycheck to renovate a brutalist fortress deep in the woods, she doesn’t ask questions. She packs her bags.

She expects a difficult client.

She doesn't expect Varrick North.

Varrick is six-foot-five of scarred muscle and lethal silence. He looks at her like she’s a meal—or a threat. He demands she fortify his home like a bunker, rejecting every attempt she makes to let the light in. He’s rude, he’s terrifying, and he’s hiding something darker than the shadows in his windowless great room.

But when the sun goes down, the client becomes the predator.

Varrick doesn't want Iria there. Every moment she spends in his territory tests his control. He smells like rain and violence, and he watches her with eyes that flash gold in the dark. He warns her to leave. He warns her that the walls are there to keep him in, not the world out.

Iria should run.

Instead, she dares to touch the beast.

When a paramilitary hit squad breaches the perimeter, the renovation stops, and the hunt begins. Now, Iria is trapped in the sub-basement with the only thing more dangerous than the men outside.

Varrick is done hiding. And he’s about to show Iria exactly why he built the cage.

SAVAGE DESIGN is a high-heat, forced proximity shifter romance featuring a grumpy alpha hero, a heroine with a spine of steel, and a guarantee that the only thing getting wrecked is the bed.
