Synopsis

CAN A WOUNDED BEAST . . .

Reclusive Sir Alistair Munroe has hidden in his castle ever since returning from the Colonies, scarred inside and out. But when a mysterious beauty arrives at his door, the passions he's kept suppressed for years begin to awaken.

TRUST A BEAUTY WITH A PAST . . .

Running from past mistakes has taken legendary beauty Helen Fitzwilliam from the luxury of the ton to a crumbling Scottish castle . . . and a job as a housekeeper. Yet Helen is determined to start a new life and she won't let dust-or a beast of a man-scare her away.

TO TAME HIS MOST SECRET DESIRES?

Beneath Helen's beautiful façade, Alistair finds a courageous and sensual woman. A woman who doesn't back away from his surliness-or his scars. But just as he begins to believe in true love, Helen's secret past threatens to tear them apart. Now both Beast and Beauty must fight for the one thing neither believed they could ever find-a happy ever after.

From Booklist:

Helen Fitzwilliam is not about to take no for an answer. Reclusive Sir Alistair Munroe might insist he has no need for a housekeeper, but Helen and her young daughter and son desperately need a place to stay. So as far as Helen is concerned, Alistair is getting a housekeeper whether he wants one or not. As it turns out, Helen is exactly what Alistair needs. Not only does his incomparably lovely new employee begin to turn his disintegrating Scottish castle into a home, Helen also begins to work her subtle brand of magic on Alistair’s war-scarred soul. But just as things seem to be settling down, a secret from Helen’s past threatens to destroy not only everything for which she has worked so hard but also the lives of those she loves dearly. Hoyt works her own brand of literary magic on the classic Beauty and the Beast story in the exquisitely romantic, superbly sensual third addition to her extraordinary Georgian-set Legend of Four Soldiers series. --John Charles
