To Beguile a Beast

"Prepare to be seduced! Hoyt's writing is almost too good to be true." —Lisa Kleypas, New York Times bestselling author of the Wallflowers series

Reclusive Sir Alistair Munroe has hidden in his castle ever since returning from the Colonies, scarred inside and out. But when a mysterious beauty arrives at his door, the passions he's kept suppressed for years begin to awaken.

Running from past mistakes has taken legendary beauty Helen Fitzwilliam from the luxury of the ton to a crumbling Scottish castle ... and a job as a housekeeper. Yet Helen is determined to start a new life and she won't let dust—or a beast of a man—scare her away.

Beneath Helen's beautiful facade, Alistair finds a courageous and sensual woman. A woman who doesn't back away from his surliness—or his scars. But just as he begins to believe in true love, Helen's secret past threatens to tear them apart. Now both Beast and Beauty must fight for the one thing neither believed they could ever find—a happy ever after.
