The Beast of Stornoway

*Soon to be published by W by Wattpad winter 2026*

When beauty meets her beast-a modern retelling of a classic story with one major twist...this story isn't for sweet little girls.

'Keep the Blarcum name strong.'

That is LORD VAN BLARCUM's duty and his curse. All his life he's been groomed to carry on the Blarcum legacy. He lives under his mother's rule, and he does as she pleases to protect the one thing he loves most: his manor.

He doesn't care for the legacy or the empire. He prefers his isolated life on the Hebridean Isle of Lewis. His manor and his horses are all he needs.

Until she walks into his life...

AMANI BLAKE wants adventure. She's dreamt of seeing the rolling hills of the Highlands since she was a child, but she's stuck. She let her mother's fears keep her in the same place she's always been.

After an explosive encounter with her employer, Amani has enough. She quits her job and takes her life into her own hands. A lucky search on LinkedIn has her accepting a position as an assistant to a Lord in Stornoway, Scotland.

Will Lord Blarcum learn to love something more than his manor and be the adventure Amani didn't know she was looking for?

Or will duty stand in the way of affairs of the heart?
