A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston's fresh, geeky retelling of Beauty and the Beastânow with a bonus Starfield story!
Rosie Thorne is feeling stuckâon her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, sheâs stuck in her grief over her motherâs death. Her only solace was her late motherâs library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills.
On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can rememberâwith all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, heâs forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least thereâs a library in the house. Too bad he doesnât read.
When Vanceâs and Rosieâs paths collide, sparks do not fly. But as they begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come offâand they may just find that thereâs more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.
