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.

JAKE'S BAILEY
..Bailey Thorne doesn't hate Jake the Rake, just despises him. She blames the rumor mill at her school...and, okay, him. His adorable son has only been in preschool, but Jake has already made an impressive dent in dating the unmarried faculty. She's had to hear of his every exploit from the broken hearts he's left behind. She was fine to loathe him from afar, but now his son has entered kindergarten-and she's the teacher. It's going to be a very long school year. Jake Polaski was more than fine to avoid Ms. Thorne after it became clear she was not amused by his very existence. But then they get stuck in an elevator for an evening. He finds out that underneath that baleful glare she always gives him, lies a warm, funny and sexy as hell woman. He does his best to not be smitten after every exchange afterward. His son needs him rational, steadfast...and love is the most uncertain thing. It was the elevator's fault. Had it worked like it should, Bailey would have gone on with her life without seeing why so many of her co-workers had fallen for the grumpy single dad. (It's his dry wit, his playful teasing and the drool-worthy cut of his jawline.) And now she's caught in the way he doles out smiles and the dark depths of his secrets. If nothing else, she knows from rumor there's a clock ticking on their affair before it implodes, because things always do with Jake the Rake, but she can't seem to walk away first.Complete
