The Beautiful Beast
Extended Sneak Peek · $4.99
This premium digital Extended Sneak Peek grants you immediate access to the full, unedited text of the Prologue and Chapters 1–2 of The Beautiful Beast.
Exclusive Insider perk
By purchasing this Sneak Peek today for just $4.99, you place yourself on the Insider whitelist. On Gumroad Insider Deal day (Dec 15, 2026) you lock in $14.99 (save 25%) instead of retail $19.99. That is a release-day discount — not an early copy of the novel. The full DIGITAL file is delivered Dec 25, 2026 with the hardcover.
Hardback orders go live Dec 25, 2026 at $29.99. Paperback $24.99.
