This close to turning his life around and just months away from the end of his probation, all Leo has to do is keep his inner demons in check. But the Beast within is about to be reawakened. One interview was all it was supposed to be. An interview with the daunting felon in the work-release program that leaves Allison breathless with anticipation for their next encounter. Despite the risks of becoming involved, neither is able to fight the inexplicable draw they're feeling. Life keeps throwing them back together until the fateful night they stop fighting the inevitable and give into their desires. Suddenly, Leo has even more to look forward to in his new life. Until his violent past catches up to him. With the stakes infinitely higher now that Allison may also be at risk, the dormant Beast deep inside Leo threatens to unleash, ruining all the progress he's made-worst of all any future with Allison. Beast is the second in the Boyle Heights series but is a stand alone that can be read without the necessity of reading Lila. ***Due to mature content, this book is for readers 18+***
