About this ebook

Gorgeous young Ella is here at my remote estate, posing as my daughter's au pair.

And I've already made the mistake of sleeping with her.

Not only that, but an unknown source has a tape of our little sexcapade.

As the CEO of a news empire, I know that reporters are just waiting for me to trip up.

I have to track down that recording while keeping my hands off the nanny.


I’m finding that being so close to Ella each day is such exquisite torture.

I can lust after my daughter’s au pair all I want. But never, ever go any further.

Her sharp tongue and knowing smile won’t make me falter.

I will be as callous and beastly as I’ve ever been.


Even with Ella's tempting curves begging for my hands to explore them, I won’t fold.

With the spotlight of my job shining on both of us, I will behave myself.


…until I can’t anymore.


The Beast is a contemporary billionaire romance from Wall Street Journal Bestseller Vivian Wood. It's the first of three full-length books in the gritty, raw, passionate Ruined Castles Series.

Wow! Ella finds herself stuck to Keir when they find out that someone has pictures of their one night of steam. Keir is such a complex character and has a lot of secret that seems to find them. Add his misguided daughter and his assistant that rubs her the wrong way and his crazy family, it takes a strong person to take it all. But she can’t get away until they find a solution to their first problem, but it keeps adding up to more surprises. Will they be able to find an answer? One click!

The chemistry between the characters is great. That is the only reason I finished the book. There are a lot of flaws with the characters personalities, and what is being said. The weird childlike annoying personalities that change every sentence really both me. There are also a lot of random unture facts that make me cringe. Its very clear the author didn't do any research or fact checking. For example there is mention of Justin Beiber being American, when he is actually Canadain etc. I would love to read a more edited and refined version of this author's books. She has good plot ideas, but needs to work on fixing plot holes and character personalities.

This is a good continuation of Kier and Ella's story with a lot of chemistry as well as secrets. There is also a cliffhanger at the end and man what a place to stop! Can't wait for the story to continue!
