Brooklyn's chance to restore a rare first edition of Beauty and the Beast seems a fairy tale come true--until she realizes the book belonged to an old friend of hers.

Is it possible that the same couple who may have killed Max are now after his edition of Beauty and the Beast? With the help of her handsome boyfriend, Derek Stone, Brooklyn must unravel the murder plot--before she ends up in a plot herself....
