The Savage Garden

The lights here are all dark and vixens pull men into the shadows. Hers was a tale as old as time, a woman selling herself for the money. But the lights here aren't part of the red-light district. The lights here create a fantasy club for the wealthy, where men can play out their fetishes of taming foxes, leopards, and swans. Collars and all. Alma Michaels is one of the wildflowers of this savage garden, Dressed in luxury every night, she feigns innocence so that the real innocent of her life, her disabled brother, can live with her and not at a medical facility. While men fulfill their wildest dreams on her, Alma is rooted to the ground. Her brother will have a better life. Her desires don't matter. Until, suddenly, her heart strains for control... He wore his insecurities and sorrows like a beastly mask, but she wasn't afraid. Scars marred his body like thorns, keeping people at bay. Alma saw something else, though, in dark green eyes, like emeralds uncut and un-polished. There was something there and her heart wanted inside. But it's always midnight in The Savage Garden. The gentlemen who frequent its indulgent atmosphere have no time for fairytales. They want to tame and claim vixens. If Alma turns from being a modern-day siren, then her heart aches to save her brother. However, if she stays under the neon lights and pulsing music, then her heart bleeds red as a rose, losing Dane. Twist the fairytale. Color it black. Re-imagine "once upon a time." Author Bree M. Lewandowski re-tells the classic fairytale, Beauty & the Beast, in this contemporary noir romance!
