    About this ebook

    He was a douchewaffle long before a spell made him a monster, but she might be just the witch to break his curse.

    Iola Pennybreaker had an awful relationship with her father, and that was before she found herself spelled to the middle of nowhere West Virginia. Apparently, Daddy-dearest was captured by a Beast… and can only be freed if she'll take his place.

    Which sounded kinda like a fairytale, except Iola has no reason to want to rescue her paternal unit. She also doesn't want to be a prisoner, even if the prison in question is a mega-sweet castle. But there is something about the Beast, so she and her familiar decide to help the creature out.

    Makeover, anyone? She tries berries, spells, and a trip to her favorite hair magician, but Iola can't seem to fix the biggest problem—Beast's self-confidence. When they team up to save a trio of baby raccoons, she begins to notice something…

    Maybe she is just the witch to tame this particular Beast.

    Virginia Nelson

    Virginia Nelson likes knights in rusted and dinged up armor, heroes that snarl instead of croon, and heroines who can't remember to say the right thing even with an author writing their dialogue. Her books are full of snark, sex, and random acts of ineptitude--not always in that order.

      Prologue

      ONCE UPON A TIME, IN the mountains of a kingdom far, far away...

      A handsome prince lived in a glittering castle by the water. The castle was tall, built of sturdy grey stones mined from the nearby mountain range. Each carefully carved block used in the creation of the castle shone like grey glass in the sunshine, with veins of rich red and sparkling quartz positioned in a way to make the walls themselves seem almost alive. The towering ramparts stretched up like arms to touch the very clouds that hung in the perfect blue bowl of the sky above. A nearby crystal clean, spring-fed mountain lake lapped soft sandy shores with the sweetest tasting water in the kingdom.

      It the perfect castle, set in the perfect location. Surely, nothing bad could befall a kingdom such as this.
