He is a prisoner in his own skin. She is the only one with the key.
Lord Dante Forrester is a man of immense wealth and intellect, cursed by a vengeful sorceress to live as a monstrous beast. Secluded in his decaying gothic manor, his only connection to the world is through books and a brilliant, sharp-tongued tutor he has never seen. He is a monster, and he has accepted his fate.
Eleanora Swift, a woman of science with a passion for the unknown, is undeterred by the bizarre conditions of her new employment. The reclusive lord who communicates only through scathing, brilliant notes is the most fascinating puzzle she has ever encountered. But when she dares to breach the walls he has built around himself, she discovers that the man she has been sparring with is more dangerous, more powerful, and more achingly human than she ever imagined.
In a dance of wit and raw desire, they are drawn together by a passion that threatens to consume them both. But the sorceress who cursed him has not forgotten her prize. As Dante and Eleanora fight to break the spell that binds him, they discover that the true battle is not against a witch's dark magic, but for a love that could either be their salvation... or their ruin.
