Detain the Beast

Belle Newton has never done a wrong thing in her life.

So why is she shipped from her warm, suburban house in England to the most heavily guarded prison for youth murderers, in America?

Well, although it makes no sense to her, Belle has been asked (forced, really) to go undercover and befriend the infamous Augustus Black. To somehow discover the secret behind the 'beast within'. Perhaps persuade him to use his odd power for good? Or even just to discover whether he has breached the line of insanity or not.

But Augustus doesn't appear to want to talk to her, let alone become good ol' buds. He is cold and harsh and seems more inclined to talk to the wall then to even look at Belle. However, after random spurts of emotion from the infamous criminal, she starts to doubt he really did murder everyone he's said to. Especially since she finds it increasingly harder to hate him and easier to watch his lips move when he talks. It doesn't particularly help that Augustus can't seem to keep his hands away from her either.

Maybe Augustus isn't insane. Or maybe Augustus is completely and utterly deranged. But for some reason or another, she doesn't believe this beast inside of him is as bad as everyone is saying it is. And for some reason or another, he wants Belle more than she thought possible.
