Beauty and the Billionaire Beast Maria Hoagland

?? Fall under the spell of Louisiana magic, enchanting characters, and fairy-tale endings in this Beauty & the Beast-inspired sweet contemporary novel. ??

As a surprise for her Opa's one hundredth birthday, landscape architect Emma Treager heads for the swamps of Louisiana in search of answers to a family mystery he's hinted at her whole life. She's almost out of leads when she stumbles across the Indigo Pointe Plantation where mystery floats through the air like the ghosts of its former owners. More importantly, she might just have found an important clue.

To find answers, Emma can't pass up the job that property owner Theo Lambert offers like an enchanted rose, despite his reputation of being a beast of a boss. As the two of them delve into the secrets of the past, Theo and Emma discover that finding clues are almost as much fun as finding each other.

When family grievances come to light, can Emma and Theo find a reason to make peace with nearly two centuries of familiar unrest and distrust, or is it better to forgive and then completely forget?
