Sounds like this is going to be an e-chapbook. Publishers used to do print versions of them as promos for some upcoming books, but with e-books, they don't have to deal with the printing cost.
I read an e-chapbook recently that was essentially a prequel. I haven't read the actual book yet (I'm on the waiting list at the library), so I'm taking a guess that it's a backstory that's explained but not shown in the book, so it's a plus but not essential to read.
In this case, I'd be willing to bet the publisher is using it as promotional material as they usually do, but it sounds like it's recycled scrap material from the book. Not something that really expands the story (unless you're talking about expanding cocks).
Also, I'm thinking it needs a subtitle. "Beauty: The Author Has Issues."
