Harley Rose Stewart, a rambunctious retired rodeo professional, dreams of one day finding the ONE man who was meant for her and have a family of her own. After the death of her beloved father, Harley finds a mysterious deed to property in Wolf Springs and learns about his long forgotten plans to build his ranch there. Deciding to fulfill both their dreams, she sells off everything and heads to Montana, leaving all her troubles behind. Or so she thinks. Welcome to Wolf Springs, Montana. Where the cowboys are hotter than the weather and trouble lurks around every corner. Cinch down your saddle straps, partner! It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure
