Wolf Around the Corner — Aidee Ladnier

Tom Davidson ran away from family obligations to be a Broadway star. If he could make it there, he could make it anywhere…but he didn't. Trudging back home to Waycroft Falls, he finds his sister Annie and her hometown bookstore in danger of folding. Her solution: open the upstairs of the historic building as a performance venue. Putting on a play should be a piece of cake for her famous New York actor brother. Frank Braden lost the genetic lottery and got the family werewolf curse. Kicked out of his home for the triple threat of being gay, a werewolf, and a drain on his widowed father's new family, he settled in Waycroft Falls to make as inconspicuous a life as possible working in Annie's bookstore. Until her gorgeous younger brother comes to town and literally needs a beast for his play. Tom breaks out the charm to convince Frank he's key to the success of the bookshop's theatrical version of Beauty and the Beast. Frank loves the bookstore, is hotter than sin, and has the perfect solution to Tom's stage makeup conundrum. Who better to play the Beast than a guy who can turn into one?
