BLURB from Goodreads:
When Elizabeth Ashton escapes her damaging city life
and finds herself in the remote town of Hemlock Veils, Oregon, she is smitten
by its quaint mystery; but the surrounding forest holds an enchantment she
didn’t think existed, and worse, a most terrifying monster. The town claims it
vicious and evil, but Elizabeth suspects something is amiss. Even with its
enormous, hairy frame, gruesome claws, and knifelike teeth, the monster’s eyes
speak to her: wolf-like and ringed with gold, yet holding an awareness that can
only be human. That’s when Elizabeth knows she is the only one who can see the
struggling soul trapped inside, the soul to which she is moved.
Secretly, Elizabeth befriends the beast at night, discovering there’s more to his story and that the rising of the sun transforms him into a human more complex than his beastly self. Elizabeth eventually learns that his curse is unlike any other and that a single murderous act is all that stands between him and his freedom. Though love is not enough to break his curse, it may be the only means by which the unimaginable can be done: sacrifice a beauty for the beast.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jennie lives for the fall, and not
just because of her adoration for the NFL (Go Broncos!). In her perfect world,
she would have the springs, summers, and falls of Colorado, and the winters of
Arizona—someplace where the climate and weather would allow her to go on a
trail run all year round. But even though she prefers the pines and mountains,
she is a devoted fan of all nature, from sandy beaches to woodsy cabins, and
all are her greatest inspiration. She believes nature is one of the best
healing remedies, with a magic all its own.
Jennie’s passion for writing is
the way she survives, and is as vital to her sanity as oxygen, caffeine, food,
and music. Even before she began writing it, well-told, original, and
character-driven romance was always her weak spot. Add the paranormal or
magical realism element and she may never make it back to reality.
