Synopsis

Dr. Arabelle “Belle” Colter loves taking care of horses more than any other animal in the mixed practice vet clinic she owns with her father. So when she finds out there is a seriously injured horse at an estate a fair distance away from their clinic, she jumps at the chance to go.

The catch? The owner is requiring her to sign a contract to stay on the estate property for two weeks so she can focus solely on taking care of the injured horse.

The problem? The owner is a cold and ruthless business man known to everyone as The Beast.

The compensation? Something she can’t refuse.

What she didn’t expect was to be rudely insulted during her first meeting with the incredibly handsome owner who seems to live up to the beastly nickname.

After a misunderstanding leads to a harrowing ordeal for both of them, she begins to see him in a different light. Little by little, they open up to each other and discover that first impressions aren’t always what they seem, and if given the chance, they can surprise you in the best way possible.

Can a retelling of a tale as old as time prove that dreams really can come true? And that if you learn to look past misconceptions, true love can find you?
