Miss Linnet, the daughter of Earl, is undeniably one of the most celebrated and uniquely beautiful woman, which in turn renders her susceptible to the dangers of a beast. The beast is her fiancée and the Earl of Merchant, one Piers Yelverton who resides in a castle located in Wales. Despite being an extremely competent doctor, he has a somewhat ruthless attitude and a cutthroat tongue. Apart from being an impossible person, Piers is also a stubborn man. Piers does not shy from announcing to his patients of an impending death brusquely without any compassion. Furthermore, he is also unrepentant about his irritating bedside manners.

Just like any other man, Piers is attracted to Linet but refuses to get married to her. Linet is more than confident that her outstanding beauty is going to bend his will.

With that said, in When the Beauty-Tamed the Beast author Eloisa James has joined the various pieces of the usual beauty and the beast narrative with slight changes.
