BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: A Modern Retelling

By Nicolette Gianni

"Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see." - Benjamin FranklinDavid Wylde is successful in business, but his personal life is nonexistent because the mere sight of him is so detestable that it sends people running.Stunning and gregarious, Evangelina Roth is a successful business woman loved by all who know her.The news of David and Evangelina's engagement spreads rapidly through the offices of Nash Industries and has everyone asking how and why. No one believes that the strikingly beautiful Evangelina could ever love anyone like David, and they may not be far from the truth. What no one knows is that David is blackmailing Evangelina into marrying him, and soon she begins to believe she made an error in judgment by agreeing to the farce. Evangelina is torn between spending the next several years of her life in misery with him, and destroying the people she loves most with the truth.In this modern interpretation of the classic tale, there is no enchantment, instead, the harshness of her current reality sabotages Evangelina's idealistic hopes. Falling prey to the beast, David Wylde, Evangelina must find a way to remain true to herself. Will she survive the ordeal, or will David succeed in destroying the beauty that is so innately Evangelina?
