Lily and the Beast

Lily and the Beast

In historic times, Samael Boothe would be called a scoundrel. In modern times, he is known as both a player and a hard-nosed businessman. When his nefarious attempts to seduce a young virgin earn him the attention of an angry enchantress, he finds himself cursed to spend his life in the rather unappealing form of a beast. Since his employees benefited from his underhanded ways, the curse also captures several dozen other residents of the town of Elmwood, none of whom are too happy about being swept away from their families and friends into Samâ€™s cursed world. Unfortunately, since the only way to break the curse is to find true love, and since he is now cursed to spend his life with a bunch of people who pretty much despise him, Sam quickly realizes that things donâ€™t look so good for his return to a normal life.

When Dr. Lily Ross first arrived in Elmwood, it was obvious to her that the townspeople shared some deep dark secret. But it isnâ€™t until one Samael Boothe badly injures himself, and a call for help is made, that Lily is told of what happened in Elmood years ago. She compassionately agrees to step through an open portal into a world that revolves around a beast of a man. But Lily has her own ideas about what her life in this alternate place is going to look like, and it sure doesnâ€™t involve servitude to a bad-tempered patient.

Despite Sam's irritating personality and Lily's lack of sympathy for his whole beastly-plight thing, an unusual friendship starts to develop between them. With the support and friendship of a variety of crazy inhabitants of this alternate cursed reality, Lily and Sam slowly move toward what could be a fairy-tale ending â€“ IF Samâ€™s animal instincts donâ€™t completely screw things up along the way.

Note from the author: I have always loved the story of Beauty and the Beast, ever since I was a little girl. But when I grew up, the whole Stockholm Syndrome piece of the story irritated me â€“ did I really want a woman to fall in love with the man who imprisoned her, just because her father plucked a rose from his property? Um, no. So I took a few liberties with the story line, while ultimately remaining true to the original plot. No helpless heroine for me, no sir. I hope you enjoy Lilyâ€™s story.
