Taste Test

In a modern twist of fairy tales, what if the beast is a woman instead of a man? Ethan Scott I was about to find out when a mysterious job led to the secluded home of a horror novelist. I'd lost everything: my scholarship, my education, and my way. In denial of my family inheritance, I took the unusual employment as a chance out of a hole, but I found myself buried much deeper in the unknown trauma of another situation. Ella Vincentia I had changed my name and my address to keep myself hidden, but my scars were more than physical. Living as a recluse in the woods, I was used to being alone, so I wasn't happy when a certain someone was always in my space. Our first encounter was less than pleasant and tension continued at every attempt to tame me. Secrets I knew she was keeping secrets and I wanted to help, but she was cutting me down and cutting me off every time she opened her mouth. Our frustration with one another grew until a misunderstanding changed everything. How can I be the next guy after something so tragic? It was a challenge I wasn't sure I was willing to take.
