Upon the king’s death, however, Everard realizes he’s lost himself somewhere along the way, and in his pain, makes a decision that brings a dark curse upon both him and the great Fortress that has so long guarded the people of Destin. The prince's sin doesn’t simply affect those of his citadel, however. Isa, the daughter of a local merchant, has suffered the prince’s hasty temper before, and it changed her life forever. When Everard’s final outburst cuts off his people’s source of protection with the curse, he demands that she, a crippled commoner, come to help him break it. All the while, Destin’s northern enemy crouches at the foot of the Fortress’s mountain, waiting for the right moment to capture the stronghold that has stood for a thousand years.Can Ever and Isa move past their brokenness to save Destin together, or will they and their beloved kingdom remain under darkness forever?Buy Before Beauty today to escape into the world of The Becoming Beauty Trilogy, as well as the Classical Kingdoms Collection, a series of fairy tale retellings for grownups who still believe in sacrifice, true love, and the magic of happily-ever-afters.

Oh, the poor merchant’s daughter who selflessly goes to live with a beast and tames him with her beauty and sweet nature. Puh-leez! What a load of crock!"Nolana has been living in her siblings' shadows for nearly her whole life. Honestly, she is used to it but things become a whole lot worse when her older sister's tale-telling gets Nolana kidnapped by a cursed king. Now she is trapped in a castle full of people who think she is lower than dirt and the constant companion of a madman who is only a man once a week! Well, mostly a man. He's still kind of furry, but at least he can talk!This is a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast." Sort of.Re-edited as of 1/12/19
