Naia is an outcast. She keeps to herself, avoiding the villagers’ stares. The way they point. Even though she wants nothing more than to belong. But when her village is cursed with endless summer, Naia must confront the formidable beast who holds the key to restoring the seasons. As if that weren't difficult enough, it turns out the beast isn’t what she expected. His soulful dark eyes seem more man than monster. And the way he looks at her, with a clarity she's only dreamed of... Soon, Naia is torn between her duty to the village that's never loved her…and the monster she set out to destroy. A 90-minute fantasy romance read inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
Author
Shaylin Gandhi first fell in love with love stories at the age of ten, when she started stealing grown-up books off her mother’s bookshelf. By twelve, she’d perfected the art of reading under the covers by flashlight, and in high school, she attempted her first novel. She now writes from the mountains of Golden, Colorado, where she lives with her husband, identical twin daughters, and two scruffy rescue dogs. When not finagling words onto paper, Shaylin can be found hiking, biking, scheming up ways to add another stamp to her passport, or ingesting enough coffee to power a small city.
