A decopunk retelling of Beauty and the Beast, set in a glittering city where werewolf kings rule with violence and humans push the limits of decadence and depravity. 

Florence Wheeler lives with a terrible secret: every full moon, she transforms into an unknown beast driven to kill anything in her path. Guilt-ridden and hopeless, she hides from the world with only her beautiful garden for consolation.

Yet a chance meeting with Tobias Rosewood, a seductive werewolf with an infamous reputation, offers a glimmer of escape. He doesn't believe in fate but is still willing to help change hers. With his connections to shapeshifting magic, they might find a way to break her strange curse. However, the price to pay will be Florence's heart...All Rights Reserved

Beautiful Beast by lucyanneholland

My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.

Until The Last Petal Falls by CrazyKat021

What if your whole life, you were told a lie? That Beauty and The Beast was a happy ending, when it was not. What if the prince was really a princess and the beast was within her. Not a hairy, talking, two legged walking beast. She was a werewolf. A girl cursed at night with a wolf who hunts humans and refuses to stop until death. Human in the day, who cares and loves all of those around her. The only way to break such a curse is with true loves kiss. Or is it? What if the only way to break the curse, is to sacrifice yourself for another? Perhaps even for a stranger. A death for a life. "Under major editing"

Wolf's Wife (Monstrous Hearts #1) by JulieMidnight

Alice is twenty-four, far old enough to know that a change of scenery can't repair the cracks in a relationship long strained. But when her lover insists on a trip to a remote cabin to get away and recharge, Alice agrees... and discovers that among the beasts of the forest, there is one that shouldn't exist and yet does: a wolf that changes into a man and a man who changes into a wolf. He's savage, suspicious, and feral. And he's as undeniably interested in her as she is in him... Wolf's Wife is an erotic paranormal romance. This is the complete and full version, NOT a sample. It's just very short compared to its sequels.

Shadow of the Prince by CSMeyerA

"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.
