From the author of "The Mermaid Spell" and "Cursed to the Sea" comes a Gatsby-inspired Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Once a member of one of New York's richest tycoon families, Belle's family has fallen under hard times and forced to move from their estate into a tiny apartment to avoid her father's neverending debts and the threat of the city's crime family promising to eliminate her and her two sisters.  When she loses her job and can't find a way to support her family, she takes up an offer she can't refuse from a mysterious man who is known for throwing the most infamous parties but whose features appear more beastly than human.

Changing Fate The Saga by Helio_Haemi
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Three childhood best friends, bound by an unbreakable bond yet shackled by a generations-old curse, find themselves racing against time and fate. Their families, once loyal members of an ancient and secretive order known as The Circle, betrayed its sacred oath, and for that treachery, a terrible curse was cast upon their bloodlines. Now, each of them faces a grim destiny-if they fall in love, they will either meet their demise upon reaching the age of twenty-five or suffer the ultimate heartbreak by being betrayed by the person they cherish most. As they step closer to their inevitable fates, the echoes of their ancestors' mistakes loom large, threatening to consume them in a cycle of pain and loss that has repeated for centuries. But unlike those who came before, they are determined to fight back. Refusing to be pawns of an ancient vengeance, they embark on a desperate quest to uncover the truth behind the curse and seek out the elusive secrets that might offer them salvation. However, breaking the curse won't be easy. With shadowy forces working to ensure history repeats itself, they must navigate treacherous betrayals, buried secrets, and their own deepening feelings for those they dare not love. As their twenty-fifth birthdays draw closer, tension rises, and the weight of their choices becomes heavier than ever. Will they defy fate and shatter the curse that has plagued their bloodlines for centuries? Or will they succumb to the same tragic end that befell their ancestors, lost to the darkness of love and betrayal? Only time will tell if they have the strength to rewrite their destinies-or if they are doomed to fall like all those before them.

Ella's always been a simple child. She didn't want anything other than a book in her hands and her brother by her side. When her brother finally figures out his invention and ventures out to find someone to buy it, he doesn't return. A creepy mansion, some talking furniture and, oh yeah, a giant animal big enough to kill her with one big step. What's the worst that could happen? This is a retelling of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast.
