The Language of Roses by Heather Rose Jones

https://jamesdavisnicoll.com/review/the-beast-within-you

Replacing her idiot father as hostage to the the Beast, a young
woman is trapped in a magical mansion with an irredeemable master.

Does _not_ end with the Beast turning out to be a basically decent
fellow under the fur.
