I’ve never been a cute, petite little thing. And my stepsister Ella and her friends never let me forget it. In fact, growing up, I always felt like the Cricket, jolly, mean giant—not that I’m mean. More like I’m a scapegoat. Now, I have one month until I get the heck out of Dodge and escape my family, this city, and all the people who’ve called me Beast all these years. I’m never coming back. Until then, I just need to avoid my parents, Ella and the gorgeous billionaire she has her eye on. Not so hard. I know how to fly under the radar. Except…he has no interest in my stepsister. No, his eye is on me. He calls me his princess. And there’s nothing I can do to escape my fate, especially when Ella discovers his interest. She’s determined to prove I’m Cricket the Beast again. And maybe, I should let her, just so I can leave here before I get hurt. Because hot guys like him? They’re definitely not into beasts like me.
Author

When it comes to books and movies, Brynn Paulin has one rule: there must be a happy ending. After that one requirement, anything else goes. And it just might in any of her books. Brynn lives in Michigan, where she likes to spoil her children and dogs—not necessarily in that order. She also loves to cook, travel and spend far too much time on social media. She enjoys mentoring and meeting new people and is always willing to chat. Personally, she finds great pleasure in spending time with her family and dogs, as well as volunteering around her community. First published in June 2007 by Ellora's Cave, Brynn is the author of over 130 books, including the bestselling Daly Way and Taboo Wishes series. According to Brynn, her writing success can be attributed to an eclectic collection of music, her local road construction crews, a trusty notebook, and of course, the people in her life who’ve finally accepted that everything is research—or will be. Brynn loves to talk to her readers and can be found at www.brynnpaulin.com.
