This is a Dark Beauty and the Beast Retelling. Please read TW below and on website! Rose Isabelle loves her role of manager in her local library. The same one her father brought her to every weekend as a child. It's like her second home. Which is why she is heartbroken to discover that the council have sold it to no other than billionaire playboy Adam Xander. Everything Xander touches he destroys, and Isabelle knows her little library isn't safe unless she can persuade him keep it as it is. Beast Adam has no problem getting his hands dirty to get what he wants. It helps that no one has the guts to tell him no--until her. Known for having a new woman at every event he attends, Xander has become the focus of the tabloids. They obsess over his love life and he never gets a moments peace. He has no intention of ever settling for one woman, but when he meets the feisty little librarian, who makes it perfectly clear she has no interest in him, it becomes his mission to get what he wants. But Adam isn't the only one who has eyes on his girl. Will he be able to protect Isabelle from her other admirer? Will one night with her be enough for the notorious billionaire playboy? Or has he found the one person who can tame the guy the press have nicknamed The Beast?
