Fans ofNew York Timesbestselling authors Samantha Young, Sylvia Day, and E. L. James won't want to miss this modern---and deliciouslywicked---take on a classic fairy tale . . .

She never should have come here.Twice a week, Lily Moore comes to work for me, stealing my breath with her light and beauty and sweetness. She doesn't know the dangerous path she's on. All she knows is that I am a reclusive artist living on a crumbling estate. That I am scarred, broken by life.A beast. . .

Lily ignites a hunger unlike anything I've known, one that could shatter the isolated world I live in. Even as I see the same longing for me in her oh-so-blue eyes, I know she belongs to another---one who does not deserve her. But it's just a matter of time before the tension between us breaks. For this beast will have what he desires. To hell with the consequences. This ismyworld . . . and I will claim my beauty.
