The Lass Who Loved a Beast (Highlander Ever After #3)

She owns a publishing house, and he's got a library she'll never forget...hidden away in a foreboding and beastly castle!

Bonnie Oliphant has endured endless mockery on her quest to own a publishing house. But now that she's reached her dream, she can't find authors willing to allow their works to be published by a woman. In desperation, she turns to her sister's brother-in-law, the brooding and barbaric heir to the laird.

Lyon Prince is known as the Beast of the Oliphants for good reason. Since losing his wife—and much of his face—to a fire, he's locked himself in his castle with only a few companions, intent on training his battered body back to his old strength. Everyone knows he's not fit for company...which is why he's surprised when a beautiful and determined young woman shows up at his door and demands access to his treasured library.

Perhaps he should've worn trousers.

When a blizzard traps them in the ancient castle, Lyon is disconcerted to realize he's coming to like Bonnie. She's beautiful, aye, but also remarkably driven and one of the wittiest people he's met. And it's not just that he enjoys spending time with her...he's falling in love with her, and that can't happen. After all, what chance does a beast have with a beauty like her?

Luckily, whether Lyon knows it or not, he has the extremely silly Guild of Godmothers on his side, and they're determined to give this beast his Happily Ever After...publishing house and all!

Warning: Contains more kilts than you'd guess in a Victorian-era romance, but who's complaining? Also, the typical shenanigans from the godmothers, and more than a little narrative causality.
