Summary:
Forced to live as a beast forever unless she agrees to marry a man of her mother's choosing before her 18th birthday, Merit Cravan joins forces with a con artist who is her only hope in finding the best match. Tevin Dumont has always been a pawn in his family's cons: tempting naive rich girls to abandon their engagements, unless their parents agree to pay him off. After his mother runs afoul of the beast, he takes her place to keep his siblings safe. Can Tevin help break Merit's curse?
