It was supposed to be a quick meeting.
I’ve been trying to break into acting for years, and now I’m finally up for a lead role in a romcom movie. It’s a huge step up from barista #3, especially considering who’s supposed to play my love interest—Adam Stone.
Sure, he’s known as the “Hollywood Hothead” and disappeared from the public eye eight months ago after he punched fellow actor Tristan Jackson on the red carpet. But I’m willing to endure some personality issues for the sake of my big break.
When he asks me to come meet him at his family estate to make sure we can work together, I figure it’ll just be a couple hours. Maybe dinner.
But then it starts snowing.
In May.
In Southern California.
Now I’m stranded with Adam for who knows how long. He’s rude, gruff, and I know he’s keeping some crazy secrets. I’m 99% sure it’s not a dead body but… you never know.
The longer I stay, the more determined I am to find out the truth…and the more I realize that Adam has scars below the surface, too.
Maybe things aren’t always what they appear.
Isabelle and the Beast is a closed-door, romantic comedy retelling of Beauty and the Beast with no spice and swoony kisses only! The stories in the Once Upon a RomCom series follow the siblings of the Stone family as they find their happily ever afters. Each installment stands alone, but if you like continuous stories, it's recommended to listen in order.
