A captivating love story that has been loved by millions of readers worldwide.

Vanessa Mazur feels no guilt for quitting. She knows she did the right thing. She was the personal assistant to Aiden Graves, the top linebacker in American football, but her work went unrecognized. After all, she knew from the very beginning that this job was a temporary solution.

Vanessa has plans for her future, and these do not include doing the laundry of a man's enormous underwear who didn’t bother to say good morning, congratulate her on doing her job well, or wish her happy birthday – even when she worked for him on the day of her birthday.

The legendary “Beast of Winnipeg” may have many fans, but Vanessa can't take it anymore. Two years is enough.

When suddenly, Aiden Graves lets his guard down and shows up at her door, asking her to take on an outrageous job that completely redefines the role of a “personal” assistant, Vanessa is puzzled. What will she say to the man who has learned to always get his way?

They wrote about the book:

“The Beast of Winnipeg and Me is the first book by Mariana Zapata that I read, and I became a die-hard fan of hers forever. Everything Mariana writes is pure gold, and I thank her for the endless love I’ve gained for steamy novels with smoldering emotions, enemies becoming friends, and contrasting characters. I wholeheartedly admire her ability to create fantastic characters that make me love, hate, yearn, laugh, and cry with all my heart… Mariana is the ultimate rock star and a true gift to all readers of romantic novels.”

“When I want to read the perfect romance with simmering emotions, I always pick one of Mariana Zapata’s.”
- Tessa Bailey, #1 bestselling author of New York Times

“The ultimate romance – powerful, clever, sweet, and unforgettable. Zapata translates the intoxicating thrill that love's heartbeats bring onto the pages of the book. The Beast of Winnipeg and Me is not just a romance with simmering emotions, a story about athletes, or an enjoyable tale with grim but also cheerful characters – it is all of that woven into a thrilling romantic novel.”
