Savage by M J Tennant

“It won’t last. It never does. Once the novelty of banging your mother wears off, my father will ditch her and you’ll be gone. So don’t get too comfortable sweetheart.”

Horrid. Rude, arrogant, and abrasive, my new stepbrother is a monster.
Jet black hair, typical bad boy looks and over six feet tall with a body packed with muscle and menace; Jaxon Savage is every girl’s wet dream. Savage by name, Savage by nature. This rich and entitled brute has made himself my tormentor and I hate him, so why is my body so affected by his presence?
Jaxon is a threat to my sweet mother’s happiness and I will fight him every step of the way. He wants to break me and bring me to my knees but it will be a cold day in hell before I ever let that happen. Jaxon may rule my body, but he will never rule my heart.
He doesn’t know it yet, but I have a few tricks of my own.

SAVAGE
noun
a brutal or savage person

Raven-haired beauty Wynter Hart may look like a delicate flower but years of looking out for her hopeless romantic mother has made her strong. Being a bookworm, she is believed to be shy and understated but there is fire under the surface; an inferno her new stepbrother is determined to ignite.
Jaxon has spent years fine-tuning his obnoxious side. His father’s disastrous love life has resulted in his suspicion of potential gold-diggers and their ridiculously attractive daughters. Having been sent away to military school to deal with his anger management issues, Jaxon comes home, tougher, meaner, and determined to make everyone pay for his tormented past.
Judging a book by its cover is never plain sailing, a mistake both are guilty of making. Jaxon and Wynter will need to scratch beneath the surface to unearth the root of their misunderstanding.
Can Wynter tame the beast that is Jaxon, or will their relationship continue to spiral towards that place which is dark, raw, and most of all, recklessly savage…
