Librarian Belle French does a favor for her friend Jefferson, substituting as bartender one night at The Rabbit's Hole. Her encounter with Mr. Gold, who is brooding over a dilemma, alters both their fates forever...for the better. This is a T Plus non-FTL AU romance, no curse. Belle is 100% all natural, sweet and spunky Belle...with no Lacey fillers, byproducts or aftertaste. ;-)
