KD's Beauty and the Beast

Joi DeVie dreamed of a life outside the small French town where she and her Father lived. She dreamed of adventure, and a place where she would be valued. She did not expect adventure to come in the form of a threat. She did not expect to be spirited away to a towering centinal, far out at sea, in lieu of her father.

Far from the world she knows, Joi meets the Palace's master -- the mysterious and enigmatic Beast. For the first time in her life, Joi finds that she is not only useful, but necessary. Joi's knowledge of animal physiology becomes the key to bringing the Beast's plan to life... and breaking the spell that binds them all. From a patchwork beginning of misunderstandings and secrets springs the greatest love story never told. The story of a captive Beauty, and her tortured Beast.
