Jessabelle's Beast

Gorzo journeyed across a vast ocean to join the umbrose in Sanctuary, but finds himself alone among them because the city dwellers view him as a barbarian. When Lady Lilith convinces him to try a new matchmaking service to find a human mate, he's at first reluctant. Then he sees Jessabelle from across the room, and in that moment, he knows with every fiber of his being that she was made for him.

Having to hold his dangerous primal nature strictly in check where Jessa is concerned, Gorzo is anxious to offer her a claim as soon as possible, before his primal grows impatient and decides to dispense with the formalities and simply abduct her.

Jessa goes to the Outland Connections matchmaking company for her own complicated reasons, but after spending her childhood in an orphanage, she can't help thinking it would be nice to have someone to call her own.

When she sees Gorzo for the first time at a mixer set up by the company, the huge, intimidating winged warrior inspires feelings that she's never experienced before. When he offers his claim, she cannot help but to accept, and she's excited about the pleasure he promises with his deep, rumbling voice and his strong, powerful body.

But Jessa has a dangerous secret, and the past she must conceal from Gorzo is one that could destroy them both-and all of Sanctuary.
