A dutiful daughter, tightly closed as a rosebud. A cursed, obsessed prince. In the enchanted woods, no one will hear her scream. Beware: This dark fairy tale passion breaks rules.
When a royal recluse demands a man’s treasured daughter as payment, his curvy captive transforms him.

His aggressive courtship outrages Belle, but he needs her to break the curse that made him a lonely lion-man.

Unless he wins her heart, they’ll both remain prisoners in his remote castle.

Only virginal Belle’s love can save their lives.
