The fairest flower in Mawbry is Erienne Fleming, the enchanting, raven-haired daughter of the village mayor. Charming, spirited, and exquisitely lovely, she is beset on all sides by suitors, any one of whom would pay a king's fortune for a place in her heart. But Erienne has eyes for only one: the dashing and witty young Yankee, Christopher Seton.

But marriage for love is not to be, for her irresponsible and unscrupulous father, crippled by gambling debts, is intent on auctioning off his beautiful daughter to the highest bidder. And in the end, Erienne is devastated to find it is the strange and secretive Lord Saxton who has purchased her—a mysterious, tragic figure who wears a mask and a cloak at all times to hide disfiguring scars gained in a terrible fire some years back.

But in the passing days, Saxton's true nature is revealed to her. A gentle and adoring soul, he treats his new bride with warmth and abiding tenderness, yet appears to her only by daylight. She, in turn, vows to be a good and loyal wife to him. And then Christopher Seton reenters Erienne's world.

Conflicted by emotions she cannot suppress, Erienne valiantly attempts to remain honorable to her elusive, enigmatic husband but feels herself irresistibly drawn to Seton's passion, his fire, and his secrets. Entangled in intrigues she doesn't yet understand, Erienne Fleming will soon have to make a devastating choice: between love and honor...between her duty and her heart.

This is my first novel by this author and I can say it is one of the best historical romance books I've ever read. I will definitely be purchasing all the books of hers that audible is releasing. The narrator is always excellent 👌🏻

This is my favorite all time book. It’s beauty and the beast meets zorro, and even though I always know what’s about to happen, it still makes me laugh out loud with pure glee. I love the romance and the characters, and Ms. Woodiwiss brings the story alive with her excellent writing.

I enjoyed that this story took it's time building the romance and relationship, and I appreciate the unique twist to presenting the beast and his "redemption"

I love a good Beauty and the Beast retelling

Hard occasionally to understand the audio due to the harsh English accents of the narration. Great story and plot with interesting historical content.

Good plot

Liked the little mystery and loyalty of the people of the castle. A classic I had read when first released many years ago

Justice vs Evil and true love

This is another Beauty and the Beast type story BUT with the Woodiwiss twist. In this one the heroine has been sold to marry "the Beast" by her wretched father. I loved all the stories by this author and remember reading this one over and over again. Read it one more time and felt transported to mu teenager years.

At first when I started listening to the book, I became very hesitant because I wasn't sure if I liked the accent of the 'reader'. But the more I listened to it the more the story came to life!! The story is a very cute love story with lots of humor & challenges!! Very happy with this book! :)
