A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston's fresh geeky retelling of Beauty and the
Beast now with a bonus Starfield story! Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck on her college
application essays in her small town and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at
ExcelsiCon. Most of all she s stuck in her grief over her mother s death. Her only solace was
her late mother s library of rare Starfield novels but even that disappeared when they sold it
to pay off hospital bills. On the other hand Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as
long as he can remember with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid
scandal catches up to him he s forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect
to find him: Small Town USA. At least there s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn t read.
When Vance s and Rosie s paths collide sparks do not fly. But as they begrudgingly get to know
each other their careful masks come off and they may just find that there s more risk in
shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.
