Roses & Ruin. Bone Mother Chronicles, #2

Everyone fears the Beast of Whitlock Forest. Isabelle wants to know his story. The kingdom calls him a monster, but she sees the man beneath the claws. Drawn into the cursed heart of Whitlock Forest by the secrets her mother left behind, Isabelle finds herself trapped inside a haunted palace with the Beast himself, a prince twisted by ancient magic and determined to keep her at arm's length. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the undeniable pull between them. The Bone Mother is waiting.
The curse is waking. And if Isabelle can't uncover the truth before it's too late, she'll lose far more than her heart. In this dark Beauty and the Beast retelling, love may be the only thing powerful enough to break a curse... or destroy an entire kingdom.
