Alana. While my name means beauty, beneath that surface is a depth I allow very few to see. I'm sole heir to
Aquarius Social, a media giant about to succumb to an unseen enemy. My father's solution is to marry me off
to the son of a competing family. My reaction? Not a chance. Now I have just a week before the wedding to

Beast wants to tie me up, I'm going to take pleasure from every minute of it . . .and we'll just see who ends up
shackled.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for Rebecca Zanetti:
 
“Zanetti is a master of romantic suspense, creating tightly plotted mysteries with delicious twists and turns…A strong start to a new series promises more mystery and romance for an up-and-coming FBI profiler.” —Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW on You Can Run
 
“Zanetti launches a romantic suspense series with this pitch-perfect blend of slow-burn romance and adrenaline-fueled thrills…Both awkward Laurel and dogged Huck are refreshing departures from typical leads while still remaining fiercely independent and easy to root for. Their romance only bolsters the deliciously intricate mystery. Readers will delight in this smart take on classic trope.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW on You Can Run
 
“Plot twists and red herrings abound in this fast-paced novel that will keep readers turning the pages.” —Library Journal on You Can Run

Helping run a social media empire is just an average day for Alana Rose Beaumont, but she didn't anticipate being kidnapped and held by rivals. The kidnapping, however, was actually a rescue from an assassination attempt—and the perfect way to meet the brooding and obsessive Thorn Beathach. Being held at the seaside mansion of a man she knows nothing about—but who knows nearly everything about her—is not enjoyable for Alana, although reading from Thorn's bountiful library about the crystals and magic that fuel their worlds is almost as intriguing as learning about the scarred and brooding man who claims to own her, heart and soul. But bodies start piling up, and those who threaten Alana and Thorn, as well as any future they might have together, start getting bolder. It's up to the social-media darling and the beastly antihero to secure their futures and keep Alana safe from the threat chasing her. VERDICT Zanetti (Frostbitten) launches a new series with this shadowy and violent twist on "Beauty and the Beast" that will appeal to readers looking for a uniquely magical world filled with seduction and betrayal.—Jenna Harmison
