A campy Beauty and the Beast! Julia Swift is terribly sexy. Unfortunately there's nothing she can do about it. While attempting to hide in plain sight from a world she fears only wants to use her, she is claimed as a personal stylist by vivacious socialite, Vérité Claire, a glamorous eccentric with a penchant for guiding talented oddballs to meet their potential. Her curious crew includes sassy housekeeper, Lotte, insanely territorial biographer, Bernard, and eventually Orson Vaughn, a hulking outcast living in self-imposed exile since being betrayed in his shameful past. In spite of Julia's trust issues and Orson's tendency towards self-sabotage, they grow closer through a series of exchanged favours until two people who are trying very hard to be invisible are seeing an awful lot of each other. Will a final favour which sees Julia helping Orson in a revenge plot against former adversaries put too great a strain on their unlikely relationship and prevent it from blossoming into something more? If Vérité Claire has anything to say about it then the answer is, "Not a chance, darlings!" So powder your noses because The Favoured, The Fair and Ms. Vérité Claire is a light-hearted Beauty and Beast-like romantic farce with a pie-throwing, rodeo-riding, chocolate covered, diamond studded French-tipped twist! Swoon responsibly. *No part of this book may be reproduced or used in any manner without the express written permission of the author.
