"Ross will steal your heart with this utterly delightful, romantic friends-to-lovers retelling of Beauty and the Beast."
HEATHER WEBB, USA Today bestselling author of Queens of London
In 1873 Paris, a marriage of convenience between a ballet-dancing beauty and a beastly earl is about to get messy.
Best friends make bad spouses . . . and worse scandals.
When Angela Bartham of the notorious Bartham family is stranded at the altar on her wedding day, she's saved from ruin by her old friend Sunny, the Earl of Sunderland. He offers a startlingly generous proposition: a marriage of convenience that will last exactly one year. Long enough for society to stop gossiping. Long enough for the press to lose interest. Then theyll quietly annul their unconsummated union.
Left without choices, Angela agrees. But Sunny is no longer the sweet but awkward boy she grew up withand who once loved her. A mysterious trip abroad has transformed him into a surly, secretive beast of a man who cant seem to stand the sight of her. Nor is Angela the romantic girl who once danced all night under the moon. Shes a heartbroken beauty trapped in a fake marriage that cant end soon enough.
To avoid the chattering crowds, Angela and Sunny flee London to spend their year of marriage in Paris. But what they dont take into consideration is that emotions arent particularly rational . . . especially when theres only one bed in the gothic feline-laden chateau theyre stuck inside near the Bois de Boulogne. Forced proximity reveals hidden depths, turning their marriage of convenience into a messy affair of the heart. Will Angela and Sunny's dance of desire come to an end, destroying everything they hold dearincluding their friendship?
