The Governess and the Beast

 Living in a gothic, crumbling manor on the edge of a North Sea cliff, Lord Simon Wolstenholme is cloistered from society. Simon realizes that he’s been alone too long. Horribly scarred from battle wounds, the baron lives up to his infamous title, “The Beast of Stonecliff,” in appearance and attitude.

 A storm rages outside, but it cannot compare to the clash of emotions between a lonely man and a distrustful woman. Lila and Simon bargain and agree to a brief dalliance. Secret desires are revealed, and hearts are laid bare. Many obstacles lay ahead of them until they admit their true feelings, though pride could destroy the fairy tale before it begins.
