Belle broke the curse and got the prince—but lost the Beast she had actually fallen in love with. As Adam returns to his human body and royal arrogance, Belle finds herself mourning not only his fur, claws, strength, and dangerous presence, but the intense sexual tension they once shared. Worse, Adam still loves her and expects their happy ending to continue. Trapped between the prince she is supposed to want and the Beast she cannot stop desiring, Belle secretly searches the royal library for beastfolk, shapeshifters, and strange bloodlines, hoping somewhere beyond the castle she can find the kind of love and hunger she truly wants.
