title: Curse of the Beast: Book 1 (Volume 1)
author:  Ashley Lavering 
description: A nomad at heart, I currently claim Nevada as my home. I have a wonderful husband and two young children that put up with my writing time. When Im not pondering on a spell that will magically calm the ferocious winds that plague the air around me, you can find me, with notepad in hand, frantically jotting down ideas in those short moments between caring for my girls. Art and science have always been my yin and yang. Throughout my college career, I shifted between the two, but in the end I graduated with a Bachelors of Mathematics and Science from the University of Wyoming. Charging into adventures and discovering something new has always been a passion of mine, but as a teenager I use to run screaming from a reading or writing assignment. Looking back, the irony isnt lost on me. Now you cant catch me without a book in hand or without an open word document. Every time a new idea pops into my mind my heart races and my hand twitch to write it. In that moment, I have my writer's high and pray it will sustain me through thousands of hours of revision.

  Hellbent on arranging a pardon for her exiled cousin, Madolyn Carver will stop
  at nothing to achieve her aim, even if it means seducing the mysterious Earl
  of Swafford. So what if he's known as "The Beast" and is immensely powerful?
  Plucky Maddie isn't frightened off easily.
  
  Returned home after too long abroad, The Beast also has a mission. He must
  remove his younger brother and heir to the vast Swafford estate from the
  clutches of a most unsuitable woman. When a misunderstanding leads him to
  mistake Maddie for his brother's cunning mistress, he takes her captive under
  the guise of The Beast's manservant. Now she can no longer be a threat to his
  misguided brother's future, or so he thinks. And surely, The Beast's infamous
  iron will can resist the charms of one particularly disobedient,
