“There is nowhere for you to run, little one…”
Beast
I am the president of The Knights of St. Bon Motorcycle Club.
A seven-foot mountain of muscle and bone in a pair of motorcycle boots and a leather cut.
Cursed with demons and darkness and secrets that run deep.
To the people of St. Bon, I am a monster.
To my club brothers, I am a fearless leader.
To her, I am a nightmare.
Belle
He comes out of the shadows and turns my world upside down.
He forces me to marry him to pay off my uncle’s debt to the motorcycle club.
The stakes are high. I must be convincing as his old lady or there will be consequences for the both of us.
But I could never imagine the real reason he wants to marry me.
Or the secrets he is guarding in the forbidden room.
Beast is a Beauty & the Beast retelling, set in the fictional, dreamy town of St. Boniface. It is an enemies to lovers, motorcycle club romance with spice and suspense, touch her and die vibes, and twists you won’t see coming.
Penny Dee writes contemporary romance about rock stars, bikers, hockey players and everyone in-between. Her stories bring the suspense, the feels and a whole lot of heat.
She found her happily ever after with an Australian hottie who she met on a blind date.
The thought of sinking my cock into her velvety pussy makes me salivate as much as licking her did.
But first, I need to make sure she understands.
So I crawl on top of her and press my lips to hers. Tasting her mouth is the icing on top of the cake. Kissing her is as enticing as I remember it being, and my cock twitches from the sheer amount of lust coursing through my veins.
I can’t get enough of her.
Until her eyes land on me.
They widen, and she violently jerks away from my lips. She crawls sideways to get out of my hands, shoving down her dress like an angry little bug skittering away in the darkness.
Running away like she has regrets.
Lies.
“That …” she mutters from her little corner far away from me. “Was not supposed to happen.”
My brow rises as I slowly come to a stand. “Then what was supposed to happen?”
She looks up at me in awe as my towel drops to the floor, her eyes sliding down my body to take it all in. But they stop the second they reach my rock-hard dick. And for a single second, her tongue darts out to wet her lips, only to disappear the next second, as if nothing ever happened.
“Oh God,” she says, blocking her own eyes with her hands. “Please put that towel back on.”
“Or what?”
She seems on edge. “It’s inappropriate.”
I tilt my head, amused by this conversation. “Why?”
“I-I don’t know!” she yelps. “Just do something.”
“I did.”
“I … I … not that,” she murmurs, still peeking at my body through her fingers.
A smirk forms on my lips. “Not what?”
I know she felt it.
I could taste her cum.
Her entire face turns red as a beet. “I thought you were going to eat me.”
I wipe my mouth and lick up the remaining juices. “I did.”
“Wha-What?” she mutters, her hand slowly lowering as though she can’t believe her own ears. She finally realizes what I said, and her face only grows redder. “Oh no. No, that was—”
“Delicious,” I reply, my cock oozing pre-cum just from the memory alone.

Life had always been good to me, and I made sure to keep it that way.
My mom had given me the only tool I’d need to succeed—manipulation. Add to that
the fact I was beautiful, confident, and rich, and I was on my way to having it
all.
My name is Annabelle, and I was the stereotypical head cheerleader,
dating the star quarterback. The school was mine, and I couldn’t wait to be
crowned prom queen.
One night, my world changed forever. All I believed my future would
hold was ripped from my grasp in a ball of flames. I lost my identity, my
boyfriend, and my friends. Suddenly, I was the monster nobody wanted around.
A scarf hid my true identity, and I was left staring at the beast in
the mirror. My appearance now matched the ugliness I once had inside, but I’d
do everything I could to prove I still had some beauty buried deep within.
Sometimes, you have to lose who you are to become who you were meant to
be.
