It was supposed to be a quick meeting.
Iâve been trying to break into acting for years, and now Iâm finally up for a lead role in a romcom movie. Itâs a huge step up from barista #3, especially considering whoâs supposed to play my love interestâAdam Stone.
Sure, heâs known as the âHollywood Hotheadâ and disappeared from the public eye eight months ago after he punched fellow actor Tristan Jackson on the red carpet. But Iâm 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 itâll just be a couple hours. Maybe dinner.
But then it starts snowing.
In May.
In Southern California.
Now Iâm stranded with Adam for who knows how long. Heâs rude, gruff, and I know heâs keeping some crazy secrets. Iâm 99% sure itâs not a dead body but⌠you never know.
The longer I stay, the more determined I am to find out the truthâŚand the more I realize that Adam has scars below the surface, too.
Maybe things arenât 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.
