Here's TL Gehr's "The Beast's Heart." It's the fourth book in their Ever After series, and it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling.
["An ex-wrestler, four foster children, a Scottish estate and the teacher who isn't supposed to be there.
Jonathan
My father is ill, but he was determined to take up this post as private tutor to four children in The Middle of Nowhere, Scotland. When I couldn't convince him not to, I stole his identity and replaced him. I'm a teacher too, we share the same name, and PR projects like this have hundreds of staff, don't they? So I'm sure no one will notice.
Adam "the Beast" De
My late husband dreamed of changing the US foster system, but we never got the chance while he was alive. Now it's up to me. The only problem? These children scare me more than I scare them (which, given my reputation in the ring, is a lot). I feel like I'm operating blind and the last thing I need is another complication. Such as this young teacher. He was not invited to my estate, and he certainly wasn't invited into my heart."]
This book was heart-racing and heart-aching. It was beautiful and ugly. It was soft and harsh. It was sweet and devastating. It was a lot of real-life all at once with a ton of trauma and baggage and worries, but it was also a lot of HEAs. So basically TL Gehr's thing in general.
This story was just...I laughed and giggled, but I also cried and sobbed.
It was about healing, about putting yourself out there. It was about hoping, about going for it. It was about love and family, about second chances and HEAs.
Trigger Warnings: parental illness and potential death, child abuse, child neglect, suicide, grief, COVID pandemic, and more.
