In every town there is at least one salon or barber shop. In every shop there's at least one professional. What most people don't understand is, we are licensed. We work hard to get what we've got and are a lot smarter then we're given credit for. We aren't just hair dressers, we're chemists, we're geometry specialists, we're therapists, we're actors and we have a PH.D. We know all your secrets and what you make for dinner of Sunday night. We are powerful. The sad part is, you don't even know what we are capable of. You sit there and spill your guts to a complete stranger and BAM! We now hold the key to your ruin. But we would never tell a soul what we know because, above all, we are your friend.

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.
