A BEAST LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF HIS PAST
Reclusive and severely scarred Prince Adam Delacroix has remained hidden inside a secluded, decrepit castle ever since he witnessed his family’s brutal massacre. Cloaked in shadow, with only the lamentations of past ghosts for company, he has abandoned all hope, allowing the world to believe he died on that tragic eve twenty-five years ago.
A BEAUTY IN PURSUIT OF A BETTER FUTURE
Caught in a fierce snowstorm, beautiful and strong-willed Isabelle Rose seeks shelter at a castle—unaware that its beastly and disfigured master is much more than he appears to be. When he imprisons her gravely ill and blind father, she bravely offers herself in his place.

Perfect for fans of Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty of the Beast brings a familiar and well-loved fairy tale to life with a rich setting in the kingdom of Demrov and a captivating, Gothic voice.

I just finished this book today and I loved how well you portrayed the realistic twist! I haven't read the original French fairy tale but you were able to at least take scenes from the 1992 Disney movie and re-write them with believable human motivations and instincts in context with the 19th century Gothic setting. My vote for your next retelling if you're between The Little Mermaid or Aladdin? I'm torn! Aladdin would be fantastic and current with the potential for vibrant culture and world building...but Little Mermaid would be intriguing and creative to see how you retell that with a realistic twist.

Thank you so much for reaching out! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the "realistic" twist I put on Beauty of the Beast. I'm definitely having a lot of fun reimagining our classic childhood fairy tales with an adult edge. :-) Ah! Tell me about it! I'm completely torn between Aladdin and The Little Mermaid... my heart is leaning toward Aladdin, but I have a clearer plot in mind for The Little Mermaid.... I guess I'll have to go to the drawing board and see what "calls out to me" more urgently. ;)
Thank you again for your message and your "vote!" I really appreciate it! :-D
