The Beauty and The Beast (Heroes Ever After Book 1)
<h2>I no longer believe in fairy tales. But without her love, I'll forever remain a BEAST.</h2><br /><b>Isabella</b>—Grady Williams is a national treasure, the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, America’s scarred superhero. With tattooed arms sculpted from carrying M-16s, this bad boy has girls begging from sea to shining sea to get a piece of his action.<br /><br />When my father squanders away my college fund, I make a deal with this dirty-talking Devil Dog—I will pretend to be Grady’s girlfriend for the Marine Corps Ball, and my dad will write Grady’s war memoir.<br /><br />Grady is fearless. Hell, this badass jumped on a grenade to save his fellow Marines! As much as I crave him, I refuse to allow myself to become addicted to a dangerous man who will detonate my heart.<br /><br /><b>Grady</b>—Isabella Cuesta is an angel who can see beyond my mangled skin, a pawn used to repay her father’s debt, a woman who makes me feel like a man instead of a monster. <br /><br />But I no longer believe in fairy tales.<br /><br />She’s mine until our contract ends. I’ll take her hard and rough, listen to all her hopes and fears, lay down my life to protect her. <br /><br />This beauty will never let herself love a dangerous man like me—a man who has killed, a man who runs towards gunfire, a man who never backs down from a fight. <br /><br /><b>But without her love, I’m not a man—I’ll remain forever a beast. </b><br /><br /><b>Publisher's note:</b> This is a full-length, standalone novel. Happily Ever After. No cliffhanger. No cheating.
