Peony Austin has just left her emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend, seeking a new life for herself. But it's hard to achieve independence when all she has is ten dollars to her name. Sleeping in her car, Peony takes a job as a housekeeper for the reclusive billionaire, Mr. Edgewood.
Rupert Edgewood has good reasons for hiding. In exchange for his fortune, he lives as a monster, destined to never find true happiness. After driving away everyone with his temper and discerning taste for food, the winds of change come when Peony arrives and cooks him meals straight out of a fine dining restaurant.
As Rupert starts to fall for his new housekeeper, they still have never met. Will Rupert at last reveal himself despite his curse?
