She is cousin to Her Majesty The Queen, and her father is the well-respected Earl of Britewood, honorary commander of the Army's elite reserve special forces unit. Laura seemingly has it all. She should be happy.?However, due to unspeakable acts committed against her as a child, she's developed a blood lust for revenge. Secretly trained by her father's regiment in the arts of war, Laura begins to target men who prey on the innocent and helpless. As her skills sharpen, Laura becomes a formidable force against evil. That's when she uncovers a transatlantic child trafficking ring led by an elite group within British society. With the help of commanding officer and police inspector Billy Smythe, her mysterious family attorney Arthur Mosely, and an unorthodox group of American allies, Laura sets out on a vengeance-fueled quest to stop them. She is determined to save as many innocents as she can. It's a mission that will put her very life and sanity at stake, making her question everything she's ever believed in. But to make things right, Beauty must become the Beast.
