TO BEGUILE A BEAST — 

To Beguile a Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt is not a typical historical romance. The hero, Sir Alistair Munroe, is physically flawed, but principled and intelligent. The heroine, Helen Fitzwilliam, while clasically beautiful, has taken some wrong turns in life. In order to find safe harbor for herself and her two children, she must flee the powerful man, the Duke of Lister, to whom she has been a mistress for more than ten years. While the Duke feels no real love for Helen, or the two children she has borne him, he refuses to let Helen leave him of her own free will. Forced to assume the identify of a houskeeper, Helen surprises Alistair at his run down castle with a recommendation from a mutual acquaintance. Alistair has been living in increasing despair and disorder. At first, he insists that Helen and the children cannot stay, but he soon comes to enjoy the life and light they bring to his home. Helen is no housekeeper or cook, but she applies herself to setting things to right. The children overcome their initial apprehension at the disfigurement Alistair has suffered, and they spend more and more time with him, learning from his scientific mind. It is not science which draws Alistair and Helen together, but sizzling chemistry! When the Duke kidnaps his own children to force Helen to return to him, Alistair must examine his own moral code and the deep love he feels for Helen and the children.
