To tame the unwilling, to teach the unloving, and to love the beast within. She can do all that for him, but will he let her in? Based on the beloved classic, 'Beauty and the Beast' tells a modern tale of two people: One who fears to love and one who dares to love. When Hailey Locket finds herself in a need of a job after her father's sudden death, she travels to New York City where she comes across an ad in the papers, asking for able secretaries to apply. What she doesn't know is that being the personal assistant to James Hunter, the broody and mysteriously handsome heir with a royal past of his own, isn't as easy as she thought it would be. As Hailey is thrown into a world where magic does exist, she has to deal with a cursed CEO, her own ambitions, unsolved mysteries, and falling in love with someone whom she shouldn't even be involved with.
