The Beast of Brooklyn by Marie Rae

They say you should never meet your heroes…

And you sure as hell shouldn’t get fired by them at first sight.

Chase Knight—aka the Beast of Brooklyn—clawed his way to claim the throne of a billion-dollar tech empire.

Dubbed by the media as a ruthless, power-hungry visionary, I’d secretly admired our CEO from afar.

Until I was the one he crushed.

Then I saw behind the mask of genetic perfection—a soulless void that discards people like pawns on a chessboard.

But karma has a twisted sense of humor.

Because the million-dollar contract he’s desperate to land?

Yeah. He needs me.

But the more I see him, the harder it is to hate him.

The man behind the impeccably tailored suit might not be the monster everyone thinks he is.

Or maybe that’s exactly what he wants me to believe.

Because maybe the man behind the mask is worse than the monster wearing it—

and he’s the one who’ll ruin me.
