Laugh-out-loud funny, sexy, and fast-paced, The Beau and the Belle is the latest standalone romantic comedy from bestselling author R.S. Grey. Lauren LeBlanc is a junior in high school when Beau Fortier moves into the apartment on her parents' property. He's a law student at Tulane, and Lauren knows he's out of her league. Still, she can't help but develop a tiny, innocent crush. It isn't long before that crush turns all-consuming, but Beau insists they keep their distance, and fate intervenes to make it even easier for them. Now, 10 years later, Lauren is back in New Orleans, ready to take the city by storm. Unfortunately, moving back home puts her right in the path of her old friend Beau. Lauren insists they've both grown up and left the past in the past, but Beau doesn't agree. He was a perfect gentleman back then. Not anymore . . .
