The Beast's Pretend Marriage

How can a beautiful woman get a prince cursed by the ravages of fire to accept her proposal of marriage?

Prince Montague Gustov was once a handsome young man. Since being burned in a horrific fire, he believes himself to be more hideous than any man in the kingdom. For this reason, and this reason alone, he has distanced himself from women, and therefore never married.
Petunia Grayson was his best friend and confidante throughout their childhood. In their teenage years, she suddenly disappears, then years later, reappears.
When his father dies suddenly, according to the conditions of the will, he must marry to become king. When Petunia proposes, he refuses, but she is determined.
Can his perceived ideas of how others see him be rectified? And will he ever find true love with his childhood sweetheart?

The Beast’s Pretend Marriage is a Beauty and the Beast Retelling.
