After the disastrous end of his most recent relationship, Beau Williams moves to the rural village of Gueule-de-Loup for a fresh start. The idyllic village hardly seems to fit its name "Mouth of the Wolf" - except for the nightly howling of a fabled Beast, supposedly living deep in the nearby woods. When a poorly-planned journey into the woods leaves Beau with a severely broken leg, he finds himself at the mercy of the secretive St. Hubert family, the reclusive former-stewards of the village; and in their company, Beau is about to learn that the Beast of Gueule-de-Loup is very real - and very enticing; but now that Beau has found himself in the embrace of St. Hubert House, he might not ever be able to leave - even if he wants to. (A Beauty and the Beast retelling, with queer characters and a happily-ever-after; approximately 118,000 words.)
