Breaking the Beast - A Reverse...

Nicole Casey

I’m here to interview The Beast, the French billionaire and ex-wrestler. Who knows that SEVEN lonely French men have other plans for me…
When I’m asked to write an investigative piece on the ripped ex-wrestler who disappeared years ago, I know this is the job of a lifetime and potentially my biggest break as a journalist.
There’s just one problem. The Beast never leaves his castle. If I want the job, I need to move in with him.
Jacques, The Beast, is not who I imagined him to be at all. With chiseled abs and a rock-hard body covered in tattoos, he is hiding a dark, painful past that I’m eager to find out. A damaged soul, he’s very protective of his privacy, only trusting his six best friends, who now work for him in the castle.
Étienne, Isiah, Alexandre, Raphaël, Vincent, and Bernard all have smoking hot bodies to die for and a sexy French accent when they speak. Each one is hotter than the last.
Day by day, I'm more tempted by their shredded bodies and smoldering eyes.
I can’t stop myself from imagining their irresistible bodies on me, their skillful hands caressing me, making me scream their names.
And to my surprise, the men are lonely too, and our connection is overwhelming.
Before long, hot kisses are exchanged, and sensual touches drive me wild.
But when my ailing Dad breaks down, I have to leave.
And I walk right into a trap…
A trap that may separate me from my lovers for good.
Will our red-hot love affair survive? Or will our terrifying pasts destroy everything?

Behold the Ape

James Morrow

A satirical SF caper of evolution, gangsters, Darwin’s brain, and the Golden Age of Hollywood from the Nebula and World Fantasy Award–winning author. When Sonya Orlova, a successful 1930s horror-film actress, crosses paths with a gorilla whose brain has been swapped for the frozen cerebrum of the late Charles Darwin, the two are inspired to write and produce evolution-themed monster movies—with Sonya in her greatest role, Korgora the Ape Woman!  As this offbeat and controversial Hollywood series finds a devoted cult audience, Sonia’s relationship with her strange simian collaborator acquires an intensity neither could have imagined. Then disaster strikes, as zealous opponents to Darwin’s ideas contrive to put the Ape Woman out of business.  By turns satiric and romantic, madcap, and thoughtful, Behold the Ape is at once an outré love story, a tribute to classic monster movies, and a science-fictional celebration of that beleaguered institution we call public education.
