"Adam," I said, completely breathless. He inhaled sharply, eyes laser-focused on my lips. I was intimately aware of them. Too late for chapstick. I felt my tongue reach out to wet them and his pupils seemed to dilate. I shivered, not in fear, in excitement. "Belle," He almost groaned, his fist clenching by my hip. I wound my arms around his neck and pressed our foreheads together. I wasn't sure what he was waiting for. ------------ Belle is a regular girl trying to make ends meet in a town that just doesn't understand her. Garrett, the town's Golden Boy, is constantly trying to win her affections, but one day he takes it a little bit too far. [Enter Adam] Belle meets a handsome stranger with a good heart who helps her get away from Garrett. He offers her a safe place to stay the night and she surprises herself by agreeing. She quickly learns that there is more to this stranger -and the town that she thought she knew so well- than meets the eye. In this twist of the classic story, Belle must figure out a way to join two worlds that have been ripped apart by hurt, anger, and a curse, all while navigating a new relationship and uncovering secrets from her past.
