Monster’s Claim by Winter Sloane

Matthias: I’m untouchable. My family owns this city and I’m the monster in the basement. Men whisper my name in fear because I’m good at squeezing out all their secrets. The moment she fell into my trap, she lost the fight. Lara has nowhere else to go and no one to turn to— except me.

Lara: Just when I thought I was free, I wasn’t. I escaped one monster, only to fall into the hands of a more dangerous one. Except there’s so much more than meets the eye when it comes to Matthias. He’s broken, complicated, and I’m undeniably drawn to him. This city might call him evil, but he’ll always be my beautiful monster.
