About this ebook
An unthinkable danger. An unexpected choice. Annabel, once the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is trapped in indentured servitude to Lord Ranulf, a recluse who is rumored to be both terrifying and beastly. Her circumstances are made even worse by the proximity of Lord Ranulf’s bailiff—a revolting man who has made unwelcome advances on Annabel in the past. Believing that life in a nunnery is the best way to escape the escalation of the bailiff’s vile behavior and to preserve the faith that sustains her, Annabel is surprised to discover a sense of security and joy in her encounters with Lord Ranulf. As Annabel struggles to confront her feelings, she is involved in a situation that could place Ranulf in grave danger. Ranulf’s future, and possibly his heart, may rest in her hands, and Annabel must decide whether to follow the plans she has cherished or the calling God has placed on her heart.

Everything to be expected with beauty and the beast story and much more! I felt every emotion and cried every tear, sad or happy. Wonderful plot twists. I think I will pass this book onto my preteen niece. You did a wonderful job with detail of the era and characters' morals and integrity; and faith. Thank you so much, I will definitely be looking into your other works. God Bless.

This is my second time reading this book this year. I LOVE fairy tales. My Honors Thesis in college was based on Cinderella and other fairy tales. So, to read a Beauty and the Beast variant that is clean and christian and entertaining was a real treat. Such a great story. Love the characters. Love the unique re-telling of a beautiful, older tale. I highly recommend this novel!

It has so much suspense and has some funny moments too. The other books by this author are just as amazing. You have to read them. :)
