"What big ears you've got." My voice trembled as he slid a hand down my back. "All better to hear you, love." He replied huskily, his lips millimeters from mine. "What big teeth you've got." My eyes dropped down to his kissable lips. He paused. "All the better to eat you with." Then he sunk his fangs in my neck, and I screamed in pain. ______________________________________________ We've all heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood. How she stumbles upon the Big Bad Wolf on her trip to her Grandmother's house. We all know good wins in the end. They always do. Unfortunately, this is a different story. This is the story of Juliette, or also formally known as Red. Juliette has never quite fit well among her village and the girls her age. Her passion for the snowy woods beyond the safe walls has only grown, curiosity dragging her in. Who knows what lies among the trees? Perhaps her worst nightmare. The Big. Bad. Wolf.

A mangled curse. An old feud. A horrible monster. Ever since the Beast overthrew the King three years ago, the country of Fabel has been on the edge of chaos and Annalise's nameless village is one of many places hanging onto order by a fraying thread. With only a thin stretch of danger infested forest away from the old castle, it's prime hunting ground for the Beast. As if fending off regular attacks weren't enough, denying the advances of a monster hunter turns out to be harder than it ought to be, especially since Anna already has an engagement ring on her finger. But it only takes one broken bargain to shatter everything Annalise knows. To save her father from a fatal mistake, Anna agrees to take his place as the Beast's prisoner. But she hasn't given up on going home so she strikes a deal of her own. She can leave the castle, but only if she breaks the curse that binds the Beast - a curse he can't tell her how to break. But as Anna struggles to figure out how to release the Beast from his enchantment before time runs out, she catches the attention of the Enchantress who first cast it, an Enchantress with a long memory and unfinished business. And she doesn't plan on fighting fair. (Formerly Red as Roses)

In this twisted, heart-wrenching retelling of the classic, Beauty and the Beast, Briallan, a merchant's daughter, finds herself unwittingly immersed in a world of lies and deception. King Braedon, annoyingly persistent in his attempts to win Briallan's affections, finally succeeds in snaring his prize by offering her something she can't refuse: a away to save her father who has fallen gravely ill. Feeling indebted to the king, Briallan reluctantly accepts his offer of moving into his castle with her father in order to nurture him to full recovery. It's not long after, that Braillan finds herself coaxed into the king's arms and finally his bed. In order to secure his prize, King Braedon makes a choice: to marry her to his estranged brother, Prince Aren. Aren, with his reclusive ways and explosive temper, not to mention his lack luster manners, was the perfect solution. Briallan would have her husband in name, her honor would remain unsullied and Braedon would get to see Briallan whenever he desired. He was quite confident here would be no possibility of feelings to develop between the two and Aren would't dare deny him access. Braedon, it seems, has forgotten one thing; not everyone is as arrogant as he, and sometimes, love can find purchase in even the stoniest of hearts. Will the solemn beauty end up with her broken beast? Will the sweet and chivalrous Ezra, who's been there from the start, stand in their way? Or, will Briallan stay true to her vow to never love again? Only time will tell how this fairy tale plays out, and Briallan might learn something very important along the way; a rose is only as strong as it's thorns. Special Thanks to @DreamingBelieving for helping me write the blurb! It was a beast but we conquered it *hearts*
