Heart of the Beholder by Elizabeth Ruth
In the blink of an eye, Thane Blackmoore, the crown prince of the Oakwater Kingdom, loses everything he was born to inherit because of a terrible curse. He flees the castle and hides at an abandoned estate until he can figure out how to break the curse or live the rest of his miserable life alone.
Bridgette Meadowbrooke is desperate to find work in order to survive and afford to hire a doctor for her ill mother. With the help of an unexpected friend, she manages to secure a position as a maid for a mysterious new lord. She tries to give her employer the benefit of the doubt, but there seems to be something more to the man who spends his days hiding in the dark.
When the paths of a cursed prince and a stubborn maid cross, no one could have guessed what would happen next.
Heart of the Beholder is a Beauty and the Beast retelling with unexpected yet entertaining twists and turns.

Authors
These are the established authors I have had the privilege of working with in varying degrees.

Elizabeth Ruth
Elizabeth Ruth lives in Utah and is the self-published author of her debut novel, Heart of the Beholder. From a young age, she always had an active mind, which was constantly making up stories. Years passed without being able to express that creative side until she read a book that sparked the fire inside her. She read book after book after book and fell in love with the adventures she went on. The work of other authors encouraged her to share her own. Most of her time is spent raising her four young children with her husband of twelve years, but you can often find her avoiding responsibilities, with her nose stuck in a book, or daydreaming about the plot of her next creation.

Testimonials
"I've been writing since I was a little girl and receiving feedback on my work since I was a teenager, but Odessa was the first one to give me feedback that really matters.
I had received plenty of feedback on my writing from other professionals before, but she was the first person I found who focused on the story as a whole and where it was going. She is extremely well-read, and I consider her to be very familiar with the current book market. I will most definitely be working with her in the future."
- Alexis Flitton, current client
"I hired Odessa to be my editor for my first book, Heart of the Beholder. She was so kind and so professional! She was very thorough with my manuscript and caught a lot of my mistakes. She even did extra research to double check rules neither of us were completely familiar with, which was awesome! I recommend her and will totally hire her again for future projects! She is a true delight!"
- Elizabeth Ruth, past client
"Odessa Taylor came highly recommended from a trusted friend as one who was trained in writing and publication, and she has been an absolute joy to work with. She is intelligent, innovative, capable, dependable, and very patient. I could not have written my book without her dedicated contribution and support. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking of writing or publishing."
- Tricia Grimsman LCSW, current client
