Heart of the Beholder

"... but for the one who beholds with their heart, they are the key." In the blink of an eye, Thane Blackmoore, the crown prince of the Oakwater Kingdom, loses everything he was born to inherit because of a terrible curse. He flees the castle and hides at an abandoned estate until he can figure out how to break the curse, or live the rest of his miserable life alone. Bridgette Meadowbrooke is desperate to find work in order to survive and afford to hire a doctor for her ill mother. With the help of an unexpected friend, she manages to secure a position as a maid for a mysterious new Lord. She tries to give her employer the benefit of the doubt, but there seems to be something more to the man who spends his days hiding in the dark. When the paths of a cursed prince and a stubborn maid cross, no one could have guessed what would happen next. Heart of the Beholder is a Beauty and the Beast retelling with unexpected, yet entertaining twists and turns.
