Beast

Wounded and running from his own demons, a Devil's Blaze MC member finds his carefully maintained isolation shattered when Hayden Graham stumbles into his orbit in North Carolina. She's trouble he doesn't want and danger he can't ignore, and when her problems escalate into something life-threatening, he's forced to reckon with the gap between the man she needs and the man he believes himself to be. The seventh entry in Jordan Marie's Devil's Blaze MC series, this installment leans hard into the push-pull of two broken people circling each other, neither willing to admit how much is already at stake.

Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell split the dual narration with chemistry that makes the tension feel immediate and lived-in. Arden brings a gravel-edged vulnerability to the male lead that keeps him from tipping into pure brooding archetype, while Mitchell grounds Hayden with enough wit to hold her own. At nearly twelve hours, the pacing rewards listeners who want full emotional immersion in the slow burn.
