Hidden in the woods sits a mansion. Rumors say it's commanded by a beast-cursed man who crossed a witch nearly a century ago. Danya has no time for rumors and fantasies, though. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, now trapped by her father's constant debt, she struggles just to care for her family. She's shamed herself, sold her body, all to make some coin and ward the debtors away for a little while longer.

Ever since her regrettable night of dull, drunken sex with Michael, Danya's had the feeling that someone's watching her. When the beast-cursed man she glimpsed in the woods shows up in her room, sniffing her panties, she knows it, and panics. Except why does she want him? He continues to follow her and she tries to fight her urges, but every time she thinks of him she becomes incredibly hot and aroused. Sex with regular men starts to become boring, unacceptable.

When Elaine leaves her home in London to stay with the Owen family in Wales, she feels miserable and left out. It's only the little secret garden that she finds at the end of the rainbow that makes staying there seem worthwhile. And then something happens that changes everything.

Hunted and claimed, taken and used, now bound by fate, Danya is forced to discover the truth about the Beast and his curse. Does she exist for his pleasure, some plaything for a monster, or is there more? Is there love beyond Everett's beast-cursed and gruff exterior?

As night falls upon the hidden mansion in the woods, Danya realizes her folly in coming here. Everett, the man cursed by a witch, with heightened senses like a beast and fur covering the entirety of his otherwise human body, has used her. To what purpose, though? Is she really just a willing body to him, some person to release his passion into and then leave laying on his dining hall floor to nap before repeating the same all over again?

Hunted? No. Danya and Alena have already been claimed. When Alena secretly follows Danya into the woods, she suspects something wicked. She never expected the Beast of legends, a reclusive, witch-cursed man, to steal her sister away into his hidden mansion, though.
