The Beast King’s Bride (Of Lions and Roses Book 1) by Tasha Creed

A ruthless beast king and a curse that aren't what they seem. Isabella is seen as odd and would rather read than deal with people. Her father, who likes to piddle and invent things, is seen as useless. When it is time for the yearly sacrifice to the feared beast king, she worries that he will be chosen. Her father arranges for her to marry the pride male's son, but Isabella only accepts when Gus promises that he will stop suggesting her father to his father as the next sacrifice. At their ceremony, Leo, Isabella's father, is chosen, despite their agreement. Distraught, Isabella will go to the castle in order to save her father and offer him the only thing she has. Herself. But the curse isn't what they were told, and there are secrets at every turn. Can Isabella warm the beast king's heart and be the one who breaks the curse?
