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.
