Variety hall actress Ophelia Flax knows how to win over an audience. Thatโs why sheโs accepted the marriage proposal of the brutish Comte de Griffe to nettle her occasional investigative partnerโand romantic sparring partnerโthe pompous if dashing Professor Penrose.
But with his boorish table manners, wild mane of hair, and habit of prowling away the wee hours, the comte has shredded Opheliaโs last nerve. She intends to disengage from her feral fiancรฉ at his winter hunting partyโuntil Penrose, his lovely new fiancรฉe, and a stagecoach of stranded travelers arrive at the comteโs sprawling chรขteau. Soon she canโt tell the boars from the bores.
When one of the guests is found clawed and bloody in the orangerie, Ophelia is determined to solve the murder before everyone starts believing the local version of Beauty and the Beast. But until the snows melt, she canโt trust her eyesโor her heartโsince even the most civilized people hold beastly secrets...
