In the Regency-inspired kingdom of Calatini, enemies can become lovers, and beauty can save the beast with her love... and powerful magic.
All of court knows about the fierce enmity between Lady Juliet, the powerful royal witch, and the rakehell Duke of Oakmoor. What they don't know is that the two were once lovers—a mistake neither can forget. One Juliet vows never to repeat, no matter how her body longs for it, yet one Oakmoor would gladly repeat, if only to silence her sharp tongue.
But even Juliet doesn't know that in Oakmoor's youth, a jilted lover cursed him to transform into a hideous beast one day, and now that vindictive curse is finally about to manifest. Perhaps the royal witch could help him, but to ask Juliet would reveal—and risk—far too much. So Oakmoor consults a seer instead and discovers his curse can only be broken by true love.
Desperate, the cursed duke kidnaps an innocent young lady he believes can love him and break the evil spell. But that lady already loves another, so Juliet secretly takes her place. Trapped alone together until his curse is broken, Juliet and Oakmoor soon begin to feel more than enmity and unwanted desire. But getting to happily-ever-after isn't always as easy as breaking a curse...
In The Beast Curse, Beauty and the Beast are reimagined as the warring Beatrice and Benedick for the perfect low-spice enemies-to-lovers romantasy. Dive into this tale—or the other books in the Calatini Tales series���for cozy, heartwarming HEAs.
