DeButy & the Beast
by Linda Jones
A physician who is uncomfortable with
actual patients, Julian DeButy dreams of a life of isolated research. The
problem is, such research would require funds he doesn't have. The perfect deal
falls into his lap. Marry and tame Anya Seton, a scandalous and beautiful
heiress called the Beast of Rose Hill, and he will be given all he needs for his
research. Long believed killed in the shipwreck that took her parents,
Anya spent years as a love goddess on a deserted island. Now she is home, but
the life of a Victorian lady doesn't agree with her. Her beloved freedoms have
been taken away, and she's expected to dress in restrictive clothing and not
speak her mind and—worst of all—live a life of chastity.As Julian
attempts to civilize his wife and turn the beast into a lady, Anya does her best
to release the beast that sleeps inside her husband.
