A Beauty in the Beast — Michelle Lindo-Rice

A recluse in need of affection and a television star in need of redemption…

Thirteen years ago, a tragic fire left junior prom queen Eden Tempest orphaned and scarred, inside and out. Now she's the town recluse -- isolated, mysterious and emotionally guarded…the complete opposite of Mason Powers, TV's most famous renovator. Yet Mason is battling his own rocky past -- personal and professional. Eden's plan to renovate her ill grandmother's home into a bed-and-breakfast is the perfect opportunity for Mason to get back to work and redeem his reputation. And Eden herself…well, their attraction is undeniable. But is their unexpected connection enough to heal both their traumatic pasts and bring their beauty into the light?
