Carnal Beginnings — Reily Garrett

Alpha-male private investigators, strong women, and psychotic killers merge in this exciting dark thriller.

Carnal Beginnings

Revenge: a confession of pain excised through action.

Adara has learned there are many fates worse than death. She's been living them for three years.

Independence and unlimited possibilities will kick-start a new beginning on her twenty-first birthday in two weeks, if she survives that long. With determination and sheer grit in her arsenal, she can almost taste the freedom.

Working for Julien Crofton, an ex-Special Forces private investigator, has taught her the necessary skills to achieve her goal, to survive under the radar. The fact that he's strong, kind, and sexy as hell is a bonus.

Luck has never been her companion. When a psychopathic killer selects her as his next target, she turns to her boss for help. His assistance comes with confidence, security -- and gentle coercion.

Passions ignite as Julien introduces her to exotic pleasures while gaining her trust. However, staying one step ahead of her stalker could cost more than she can afford. Her heart.
