Secrets of the Beast E-BOOK

Royce Romilly is the second son. He wasn't supposed to inherit. But when tragedy strikes, he sees no other option than to take his handful of trustworthy servants and addle-brained older brother, to a secluded manor house. Now far away from the rumors and whispers of what really happened to the prestigious family, Royce is determined to find peace for, not only himself, but Maxcence as well. While the outside world believes his brother to be dead, he is very much alive and hidden away in the west wing of Royce's new home. Had there been any other option but to feign Maxcene's death, Royce would have taken it. Now, all he can do is try and give everyone under his roof a peaceful living, although he struggles with that for himself. Royce is full of self-doubt, uncertainty about his past and future. He grieves for his parents and a lost love. He worries over his brother, and wonders if peace will ever find him.

Royce and Juliet's worlds collide when Maxcence escapes, causing an accident with Juliet's cart and horses. Royce finds them in the next moment and sees no other option but to take Juliet with him. She has seen Maxence, and Royce can't have anyone from the outside world knowing his older mad brother is still alive. Juliet struggles being held at the manor against her will, and until she receives explanations, she refuses to be cordial to Royce who has only shown his temper. Even with impending threats, danger, and past sorrows, they reach an understanding. Fondness for each other grows, and they soon find themselves in love, but their love and everything else is threatened as the outside world finds its way in.
