When Beauty Tamed the Beast

Lady Linnet Berry Thrynne, a captivating beauty, finds herself in a precarious position. After a misinterpreted public embrace with a prince and a tragically oversized gown, the ton believes her to be carrying a royal heir, effectively rendering her unmarriageable. To appease her desperate father, Linnet agrees to a marriage of convenience with Piers, Earl of Montague – a brilliant surgeon with a formidable temper and a wound that has left him, reputedly, 'incapable.' Piers, a man often referred to as a beast, is not easily fooled by Linnet's predicament or the supposed blue-blooded heir. Despite her devilish wit, charm, and radiant beauty, he initially has no intention of wedding her. However, Linnet discovers a spark of gentility beneath Piers's gruff exterior, an intriguing complexity that she's determined to fan into a flame. As she navigates his guarded heart and the secrets of his past, Linnet realizes that 'incapable' certainly doesn't mean 'uninterested,' setting the stage for a passionate battle of wills and unexpected desires.
