Beast

Summary

A tale as old as time . . .

A charismatic man could not see beyond his own brilliant reflection, never learning that true beauty lies within. His selfish behavior drew the ire of a witch with enchantment on her wicked tongue. A fiery curse was unleashed, engulfing the self-centered man's entire existence.

When at last the flames extinguished, he gazed upon his reflection to discover he was no longer breathtakingly handsome, but condemned with scorched flesh and twisted scars. He was no longer a man at all, but a beast. While the ferocious beast raged, alienating everyone far and wide, a woman whose beauty was far more than skin deep lived in a world much simpler than his.

Her quiet life is disrupted when she's ambushed, threatened, and boldly steps in the path of her father's debt. However, it's not the thugs on her tail or the roaring beast testing her patience that threatens to be this sassy beauty's downfall.

It's the way her heart flutters whenever he is near, but some curses just can't be broken and really, how could she truly ever love a beast?
