Welcome to Litsy!

She�s about to make a beast of a bargain in this clever and deliciously engaging fairytale twist, from USA Today bestselling author Eva Devon... All of London gossips about the Duke of Montrose. A recluse. Inflicted with a terrible disease. A gargoyle with a terrible temper. But he�s also the most important patron of the centuries-old book shop that belongs to Miss Elizabeth Sharpe�s family. Now she�s been charged with delivering books to the Gargoyle of London herself�or risk their shop falling into ruin. But surely a duke can�t be that ghastly... Garrett Maximilian doesn�t give a tinker�s damn what society says about him. Most of them are sycophants, bowing and scraping in his presence. But not this proud, redheaded spitfire of a woman standing before him. In fact, nothing makes him feel more alive than Miss Elizabeth tartly criticizing his books. Perhaps he just needs a plan to keep her close... The duke�s glower doesn�t terrify Elizabeth as much as it fascinates her. And worse, he looks at her with a dark hunger that should make her shake with fear�not desire. But Elizabeth�s father has sinister plans in store for his daughter...and this beastly duke might be her only salvation.
