This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.

This is book 3 in the Elder series. COMPLETE "What's your name?" He murmured against my lips, his hand slowly ascending up between my thighs. "Tess," I answered, sliding my hands around to his back. "What's yours?" "Kane," he answered, his fingers sliding up barely brushing against my underwear but not touching me. I couldn't take it, I wanted him to touch me. I wrapped my hand around his wrist and guided his hand up until he was touching me. He groaned, leaning his head down into my neck, placing a hot kiss against my skin that sent electricity through my body. "Kane," I breathed as he rubbed me through my underwear. "Tess," he whispered, his teeth grazing across my skin. "You're so wet for me, baby," he growled, moving the underwear aside and sliding his finger into me. He added a second finger, plunging them into me roughly. "Mine," he growled, sinking his fingers in deep. *** Tess is the Gamma of Blackstone pack, the strongest pack in the Northwest.
