I will have her by my side…if I don’t destroy her first. Brandon When I sent out for a nurse for my infant daughter, I hadn’t expected the pretty young thing who arrived on my doorstep. I would have sent her away, but my baby needs her. Now we're snowed in for the winter. She's the light to my darkness. A glimmer of hope to my despair. She thinks she's safe. That I am her protector. Little does she know that a beast stalks the halls of Dunnwood Manor...and that beast is me. Pippa Brandon Dunn, baron of Dunnwood Manor, is as handsome as he is cruel. He terrifies me. Fascinates me. Reminds me of the woman I used to be before my husband died. I don’t want this job, but I need it. It’s more than just the money. Here, no one knows who I am. No one knows what I’ve done…. Rose in the Dark is a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Please note this story contains content some may find triggering. Please proceed with caution.
