    About this ebook

    Teen pageant contestant Annabelle Moss sees her life shattered when her parents die in a car accident. A small ray of hope dawns when Gwendolyn Wentworth, the richest lady in town and former pageant queen, offers to take her in and be her coach.

    Former child pageant contestant Taryn Wentworth hides behind oversized clothes and hair covering her face. At odds with her mother, she gives Annabelle the cold shoulder.

    But as the world darkens and the real beast reveals itself, Annabelle and Taryn must rely on each other’s love to survive.

    A contemporary lesbian YA inspired by a classic fairy tale, Beautiful Beast explores what it really means to be beautiful...and beloved.
