As they move closer to the truth, Rosalind unwittingly finds herself in the sights of the real beast in Barronsfield, and Stephen must decide if his growing love for Rosalind will be his salvation or her doom.

And now that she's finally found a place to call home, she's not about to let anyone stand in the way of raising her daughter in peace - not even Charon, the womanizing, drop-dead-gorgeous former god who works at her restaurant.
