Price of a Rose

Left by her cruel stepfather to be the sexual plaything of a violent and mysterious man, Belle expects to die very soon. But her captor is more tender than he first appears and—although he is under a curse that renders him a monster—he bears a strange resemblance to Lucien, a man she visits in her dreams. Caught as much by the passion that burns between them as the deal made by her stepfather, Belle longs to uncover the secret of her not-so-monstrous captor’s curse. Yet he knows that her ignorance is the key to her safety, and he'll do anything to stop her from discovering the truth.
