When Cale Dawkins left town to visit his mother for Autumn's Moon, he never imagined the bypath to Ashwood's abandoned manor would lead him to another realm altogether. Trapped in a world inhabited by monsters, Cale quickly learns that he must stay within the manor grounds with the servants who live there or succumb to Ashwood's darkness. But little does he know that one of Ashwood's most feared beasts is living under the same roof with him as the dark, brooding lord of the manor, and there seems to be no way of breaking the curse that has befallen them all.

Gil Lockhart and the servants in his manor have been cursed to remain in a realm of shadow and monsters for nearly ten years. He has been waiting for the time to come when the right person will drop into his manor to save them all. But breaking a dangerous curse comes with risks, one Gil hopes Cale will be willing to take if any of them are to be saved not only from the curse, but from the beast he's been damned to become.

An MM romance inspired by Beauty and the Beast comes a dark twist on a classic fairy tale...
