Sterling Locke:

They say us Locke brothers are savage and that we’ll take care of any motherf--ker who steps out of line without even batting an eye. They’re right as shit. The last thing you want to do is get on the bad side of a Locke. There’s no f--ks given when it comes to protecting the people we care about. We’ll fight to the motherf--king death if it comes down to it.

So when Wynter shows up on our property with a busted-up face looking for protection, you better believe that’s what she’ll get. It may have been three years since I’ve seen her, but I instantly feel the need to protect her. It consumes me, turning me into a monster that even the devil himself doesn’t want to f--k with.

I know she’s here because she’s certain I’ll go to great lengths to protect her, but I’m going to show her that she’s going to want me for a hell of a lot more than just that. I can take care of her, not just making sure she’s protected, but by showing her with my body how good I can make her feel.

I’m going to show her that sometimes savage...can be good.

Wynter Lowe:

I don’t know what I was thinking when I showed up at Sterling’s house. I guess knowing only he could protect me made me do this pretty stupid thing.

The Locke brothers are dangerous and have been since long before I really knew them. Coming here beaten won’t just humiliate me and make me feel weak, but I know it will get the Lockes worked up. And hurting the person who did this to me runs strong in my veins.

But maybe that’s the reason I came here...because I knew they’d help me no matter what.

All it takes is one look at Sterling for me to realize my feelings for him are still there...and strong as hell. I want to hold onto these emotions because after what I’ve gone through, they make me feel safe, protected, and like nothing can touch me.

Sterling makes me feel like all of that and more. I want to be his, and this time, the dark rumors around town won’t keep me from letting that happen.

Warning: Savage Locke is a short cowritten, kind of twisted love story from NYT best-selling author Victoria Ashley and USA Today best-selling author Jenika Snow. If you like it hot and a little rough...this is the audiobook for you. For ages 18-plus.
