A werewolf with southern charm and a wicked bite? Welcome to Curse of the Beast the Complete Collection: A Modern Retelling of Beauty and the Beast. All three books are included, plus new scenes from Beast’s perspective. 

Seventeen-year-old Tayla Jonas longs for a simple life, but an ancient curse forces a werewolf to hunt her, to claim what is his. Will Tayla be strong enough to survive the Curse of the Beast and high school? Or will it consume her like so many before? Thankfully, Tayla has her best friend Chel to help her through the twists and turns of the Curse and having a werewolf as a shadow. 

Beast, doesn’t know if he can handle another Hunting, but Tayla is different, intriguing. His wolf is drawn to her in a different way than how the curse pulls him to hunt the next girl. He doesn’t want to admit that it isn’t just his wolf who finds Tayla attractive. But his feelings can only result in pain, for how could someone as beautiful as Tayla fall in love with a Beast like him?

Cover designed by the amazing Desiree DeOrto!

After Star book three in the Curse of the Beast Series by Ashley Lavering:

A Choice was Made

The Curse was Broken

Yet the Wolf Remains

Tayla’s life changed forever the day she became a werewolf in James’ pack (aka Beast). Now they must flee their Wyoming home to escape the increasing wolf hunts caused by Kyle. With James, her alpha and intended mate, she finds refuge in the remote area of Crouch, Idaho. 

Now that she's settled in to her new home with the man of her dreams by her side, Tayla wonders if she’s finally found some peace, but it doesn't take long for enemies to find her. They taunt her with secrets from James’ past, and revenge stalks the pack at every turn. 

When James is severely wounded with an unknown poison, it is up to Tayla and her best friend, Chel, to solve the mystery of the poison’s origin and find a cure. Will they be strong enough to handle the truth they discover and defeat their enemies? Or will time run out and werewolves die?

(A clean Young Adult Paranormal Romance)

After Star Except:

The house smelled like I’d just walked into a Tuscan Villa. Roasted tomatoes and pasta with… I inhaled again, sautéed portabella mushrooms, yum. My stomach rumbled. James bent over to get two plates heaped with yumminess out of the oven. The sight of him in his cream colored apron and those tight Wrangler jeans made it a toss-up as to what I was hungrier for, him or the pasta. He set the plates on the stove top, and I closed the distance between us. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed his throat. “I am so in love with you right now.”

His arms squeezed me closer. “Hmm, are you sure it isn’t the food talking?”

I laughed. “It might’ve added more to your charm tonight than usual.”

“That hungry, huh?” The silver streaks in his eyes conveyed his double meaning, leaving me at a loss for words as my stomach fluttered, and I blushed.

“Eww you guys. Get a room,” Erika said, pushing us playfully out of her way. “So does the teacher get any dinner? I worked hard, too, so stop ogling each other, and feed me.” She grinned.

We chuckled, and he handed her a plate. She sat at the table and dug in. My stomach twisted in hunger as I watched her. That blending-in-with-nature exercise was energy zapping work. I hadn’t been this hungry in a while.

James stroked my cheek. “You better eat, too. Sounds like progress was made, and it carved a hole in both of your stomachs.” The hopefulness in his voice made me glad I hadn’t failed today’s lesson.

“I did have a little success.” I teased him with my vagueness. Smiling sweetly at him, I grabbed my plate and joined Erika, who was smirking behind her glass of water.

“Out with it you two.” James sat next to us. “From the way you both are grinning, and the fact that you are hours late tells me something big happened.”

“Go ahead,” I said to Erika, who was bursting to share the news.

“Tayla, blended with a fir tree! She did such a great job, I had to coach her back to her human rhythm.” Erika plopped a forkful of pasta between her lips, her eyes glowing with pride.

James’ mouth fell open. “No?”

Erika’s smile grew, and she swallowed. “I am so glad you found her and brought her into the pack, James. I will finally have someone to teach all my secrets to.”

My lips stretched into a full blown smile. “James, did you hear that! We can train together. This is going to be fun!”

Erika threw James a sarcastic smile, and they both looked at me with amusement. “What? I am just excited.” Finally, I was good at something werewolf.

“We aren’t laughing at you, Tayla. I was just teasing James. You see he has talent, but nothing like the raw skill you possess to master it like I have,” Erika said.

“I have never fully melded my rhythm with anything. I am excellent at mimicking, but could never understand the depth Erika always spoke of. It is truly an amazing gift you have, Tayla.” He touched my knee and looked at me with such admiration that I blushed.

“Really, it was Erika. I couldn’t have done it without her guiding me. I’m not really even sure I can do it again.”

“Oh, she’ll do it again.” Erika winked at me. “She’s experienced the high and is now addicted. I don’t know, James, you might lose her to the forest.”

“Then I’ll just have to entertain her better.” He gave me a wicked grin.

“You’re in a mood,” I whispered, needing to fan my flushed cheeks and settle my fiery nerves.

 ***Excerpt from Tayla's POV with James/Beast***

His lips skimmed my neck before nibbling on my ear, heating my skin. Need rose up in me, longing for him to take the pain and frustration away. I clung to the man who held my heart captive. Turning slightly, I tilted my head back just enough to look into his caramel eyes. My fingertips brushed over his lips, asking. A deep rumble resonated from his chest, and his lips found mine. They moved with a hunger that I matched. My hands tangled in his dark brown locks. My wolf sang through my blood with a fever to go further, a sign I needed to stop.

Curse of the Beast~ A young adult retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a werewolf twist. Will Seventeen year-old Tayla break the curse? 

Excerpt:

 “Ug, why won’t I wake up?” I muttered, feeling my sanity start to slip. “This can’t be happening.”

 “Whether you believe it or not, we’re stuck together, bound by a magical cord.” His voice sounded dismal, as if depressed.

I cocked a disbelieving eyebrow at him and scoffed, “And I believe in fairies. Is this some sort of twisted game? First you drug me, then mess with my head?”

He smiled grimly. “I didn’t drug you and the magical cord is real and unbreakable. Don’t believe if you choose, but that doesn’t change anything. We are still stuck together and now it is time to go.”  

I stared back into his serious eyes, my words stolen from me. He couldn’t be serious, could he? My thoughts swam and the world swirled in my vision. I caught him eyeing me as if waiting for something. Did he think I would faint?

Honestly, I might. I squirmed and rubbed my stomach, trying to erase the horrible image of the pulsating rope buried in my flesh. I checked the skin. There was no visible trace left now.

“My wolf has chosen you, and there is no way around it.” Beast’s voice broke through my thoughts, and my gaze flicked to him. “You must come with me.”
