A Word from the Author

What if the villain got the girl?

Southern Belle’s are the South’s version of Princesses. From birth they are taught all the traits worthy of a true Princess. They are expected to be delicate, and beautiful like the petals of the yellow roses that bloom in spring.

Respectful, graceful, and kind.

Strong, with a quiet intelligence that gives them an air of mystery.

Everything a man could want, and a monster would crave.

Beauty was the definitive Southern Belle.

She had fairy tale dreams, complete with a Knight in shining armor.

Her life was one of privilege that left her unprepared for the severity of the Beast.

She was his perfect victim.

Beauty did not know real monsters existed until she was prisoner to the cruelest monster of them all.

The reader is taken on the rollercoaster ride of Beauty’s life as she navigates the perils of procession and pain. Her world becomes a game of survival, one she must win or lose her life.

Will Beauty escape the cruelest of Beast’s? Or will he take the ultimate sadistic prize?

Her life…
