Savage Beast (Prophets MC; Angels from Hell #1)


Evelyn Glass - 2018
     VAL It’s been almost two months since I took my baby daughter and ran for the hills. We had to get away from my abusive ex. He’d given me enough black eyes and sleepless nights to last a lifetime. And my little girl deserves a better father than a devil like him. For a little bit, it seems like we’d made it out safe. I might be stripping to pay the bills. But it’s worth it if that’s what it takes to feed my daughter, to keep a roof over our heads. And there’s something liberating about getting on that stage. Up there, with my legs around a pole and pounding music in my ears, I can be anybody. I can be anonymous. Powerful. Free. And then it all comes crashing down. It started with a simple request for a dance. But when I saw who was asking, my blood froze in my veins. The outlaw biker waiting in the champagne room was like something out of a romance novel: Rugged, tatted, leather-bound, unbelievably huge. I gave him what he wanted. And that might just be the last thing I ever do. MERCER She looked more innocent than I expected. It’s easy to rationalize killing most of my victims – it’s kind of necessary when you’re a biker hitman like me. The scum on my hit list are usually criminals of some kind: low life thugs, dirty drug dealers – you get the idea. They deserve what’s coming to them. But Val was different. There was something in her eyes – something fragile. Special. Worth protecting. And when I find out she has a baby girl at home… The job gets that much harder. But my employer tells me I don’t have a choice. Get it done, he says. Put her down and move on with your life. So I go through the steps. I find her at the club where she dances. Take her to a room in the back. Tell her I know who she is – who she really is. Her jaw drops. I can see her eyeing the door. Getting ready to run. And then I tell her the ugly, bloody truth: I’m the man who’s been sent to kill her.
