In this modern-retelling of “Beauty and the Beast”, Savannah Carmichael, betrayed by an unreliable source, returns to her hometown of Danvers, Virginia, with her once-promising journalism career in ruins. Given the opportunity to get back in the game by writing a patriotic human interest piece, Savannah turns her attention to the town hermit, Asher Lee, a wounded veteran who returned to Danvers eight years ago, and hasn’t been seen since.
After an IED explosion in Afghanistan took Asher’s hand and disfigured half of his face, he’s lived a quiet life on the outskirts of Danvers where the locals respect his privacy… that is, until Savannah Carmichael comes calling in a borrowed sundress with a plate of homemade brownies. When Asher agrees to be interviewed by Savannah, he starts feeling things for the beautiful reporter that he hasn’t felt in years.
Misfits in small-town Danvers, Savannah and Asher create a bond right away, touching each other’s hearts in ways neither thought possible. When a terrible mistake threatens to drive them apart, they’ll have to decide if the love they found in one another’s arms is strong enough to fight for their hard-won happily ever after.
The most beautiful love story I have ever read in my life… Can I even put into words how beautiful this story was? How it moved me and made me understand love on a level I never knew even existed? I am going to try.Â
He’s no beast but his love is fierce. You will love Asher! It was so easy to fall in love with this story and the characters. My best friend read it and texted me that it was a must read that made her feel “squishy”. And she was right. It definitely pulled at the heart strings.Â
