Belleza and the Brute by Jane Matisse
Publication date: April 28th, 2018
Synopsis (according to Goodreads):
The modern remake of a classic tale that twists the fictional into possibility.
When two lost souls are brought together in an unlikely circumstance, it'll take more to scare this feisty beauty away from a domineering beast. A story of love, loss, and learning to accept when life gives you a second chance.
Elena Salazar has taken care of her gambling-addicted brother since her parents' death. When he calls her, late one night asking for help, she's thrown into Tristan Mercier's life and is at his mercy. Unable to pay her brother's debt, a contract is signed: she will live and work for Tristan for six months while her brother is sent to rehab.
Tristan Mercier is scarred, both physically and emotionally. He lost his happily ever after five years earlier in a fire that nearly took his life. He's broken and bitter, but with Elena's arrival, things are changing, and the feelings he thought long buried begin to resurface.
Can this brute open his heart to give his belleza a chance?
