A twist on the fairy tale retelling. This is a (somewhat light in my opinion) BDSM story written by Anne Rice under a pseudonym. The story starts where the "Prince Charming" would be waking up the princess with a kiss. Let's just say things get a little more intense than that and she leaves her home as a slave to the prince. Something that isn't an oddity in this world it seems. This book takes place mostly during Beauty's time at the castle. It's a fairly well-written BDSM story featuring a lot of spanking and M/s relationships everywhere.
