New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren, delivers a scorching hot fairytale retelling with a tortured ex-soldier and a beautiful maid who changes everything.

Once upon a time, a scarred billionaire retreated from the world...

The minute I saw her I knew she would be my weakness.

Gorgeous. Innocent. Sweet.

Far too young for me, but I can't control my desire.

I hired her to clean my house, knowing she would be the ultimate temptation. Then she catches me moaning her name in an intimate moment.

And a beautiful college student draws him back out...

She seems to want me, despite my scarred face and grumpy demeanor.

But can a broken beast of a man ever become worthy of a beauty?

I want her more than I can bear.

Enough to return to my alma mater as a professor.

I never could have expected to see her sitting in my classroom on the first day of the semester. Now the world wants to keep us apart, but I'll do everything to fight for her. For us.

THE BEAST is a collection of the two novels, BEAUTY AND THE PROFESSOR and FALLING FOR THE BEAST, in an incredibly hot and heartbreakingly romantic beauty and the beast retelling.
