When Woman Olivia Gosling finds The Book of Love inside a musty bookshop, she is most eager to try out its love ‘recipes’ in someone safe.

Did she state safe?

Well, Beast isn’t really safe, but with her odious guardian about to marry her off to one of his unsavory close friends, Olivia needs her youth friend to fall in love with her . fast. If Beast can like her, then any man she chooses will certainly perform the same.

Alexander Beastling, Duke of Hartford, is recognized as Beast among the lot. He is big about The Look of Like and muscled, and there is a dark aura of mystery about him that he makes no effort to dispel. Given that he’s returned from battle, he’s appalled to understand of the relationship plans Woman Olivia’s loathsome guardian provides on her behalf. Beast has decided that he’ll help her find a appropriate husband, even if this means enduring her ridiculous experiments taken out of a publication she identifies as The Reserve of Love. Olivia calls them magical formulas for love.

Is it possible they actually work? Because instantly, Beast can’t seem to obtain Olivia out of his mind . . . or his heart.
