versions of Beauty and the Beast?

Question

I've been going crazy trying to find a title of this book I read a few years ago; I loved it so much I read it about three times. I'm only 16 so it's not like the book's out of print. Well, the book is based off of Beauty and the Beast. The character's name is Beauty instead of Belle, and the Beast's name is still Beast. I think the title has something to do with "Beauty's Roses" or something like that, but I've searched for it online and haven't had any luck finding it or anything like it. The book is centered around Beauty, the Beast, and these roses. And instead of having inanimate characters like Clocksworth, they do have servants but in the book Beauty can only hear them, and not see them. It's based more on the original French version where Beast asks Beauty every night at dinner to marry him, however. The book is amazing and I really loved it, so if anyone can help me out, please respond! Thanks!!!!

I loved 'The fire rose' by Mercedes Lackey.In this book 'Beauty and the Beast' is updated to 1905, where fabulously wealthy rail baron and Fire Master Jason Cameron has transformed himself into a wolfman and he needs the help of an tame scholar (female so that she is no threat) to help translate the Magickal texts that will give him clues to breaking the spell. Instead of the mouse he expects, he gets a lioness, Rosalind ('Rose') Hawkins, a classicalist and medievalist whom he has brought from Chicago to his San Francisco estate under false pretenses, supposedly to be a governess to his non-existent children. Penniless, she is more than willing change the terms of the initial agreement to do interesting work in luxurious surroundings, even with someone who may be a madman. She eventually learns the truth about Jason and begins to grow as a Magician herself. But Jason has enemies who do not want him to return to human form and full power, or wish to exploit his power for themselves. And then terror strikes, both from Magickal and natural sources....
