The beast was never meant to be tamed. Neither was she. Mia has always been good with the scared ones. As a veterinary technician In Coral Cove, she knows how to calm trembling dogs, soothe furious cats, and earn trust from creatures with teeth. Animals make sense to her. Fear makes sense to her. Bodies tell the truth, even when people do not. Her own body has been harder to trust. After a relationship that taught her how quickly kindness can turn controlling, Mia has kept her life safe. Work. Home. Routine. No risks. No wanting too much. No giving anyone the chance to make her feel trapped again. Then her best friend sends her to The Arcane Room. Inside the strange tarot shop, Mia draws Strength, a card of courage, restraint, hunger, and the hand that does not tremble at the lion's mouth.
One cup of enchanted tea later, Mia wakes in a forest that should not exist. There is blood on the moss. A cursed castle beyond the trees. And a beast watching her from the shadows. Ezra is enormous, wounded, and dangerous enough to kill her by accident. He has claws, horns, a curse-glass shard buried in his side, and a voice rough enough to make every warning sound like a confession. For eighty-seven years, he has been hunted by Wardens, trapped by magic, and feared by everyone who came close enough to see the monster before the man. But Mia knows the difference between a threat and a wound. Ezra does not need to be tamed. He needs to be trusted. As the curse begins to wake, mirrors glow with old magic, and the Wardens close in, Mia must decide what Strength truly means. Because the card did not bring her to Ezra to make him safe. It brought her to the one creature powerful enough to show her that desire does not have to be a cage. And that gentleness, when chosen by something with teeth, may be the fiercest kind of love. Strength of the Beast is an adult monster Romantasy standalone featuring a tender-but-dangerous beast, a wounded healer heroine, Beauty and the Beast vibes, magical tarot doors, a cursed castle, consent-forward heat, emotional healing, and a love story where no one has to become smaller to be loved. Welcome to Tarot Fantasies, where one card can grant your deepest wish, but every wish has teeth. Edition Note: This book was originally published in a much shorter form and has been substantially revised and expanded into a full-length novel, with significant new material throughout. Readers who previously purchased the original Kindle edition may check their Kindle library or Amazon's Manage Your Content and Devices page for available updates. Readers who prefer the original short-story version can still find it in the paperback collection, Coral Cove Books 1-4.
