Every day, the threat the Varis family poses to the humans they rule over grows stronger. Every minute that Arabelle spends doing chores for vain, entitled aristocrats, her resolve to overthrow the vampire monarchy increases. She is the leader of the underground resistance, The Black Lily. And she’s waited long enough.

Now is the perfect time to ignite the rebellion. The plan? Attend the vampire prince’s blood ball. And kill him.

Dagger in hand, Arabelle is caught off guard by the immediate spark she shares with Prince Marius. It doesn’t help that he’s listening to her and seems so kind and understanding.

Arabelle is sworn to kill Marius at all costs, but what if Prince Charming is more than he appears to be? But the big question? Now that he knows the truth, can she do what she must to save her people?

The threat the Varis family poses to the humans they rule over grows stronger every day and Arabelle’s resolve to overthrow the vampire monarchy grows as well. Now is the perfect time to ignite the underground resistance’s rebellion, by attending the prince’s blood ball and killing him. But Prince Marius could be more than the Prince Charming he appears to be if he listens and understands the truth.

This is the first book in fascinating and different vampire world that readers can really sink their teeth into. The chemistry between Arabelle and Marius has sparks flying in every direction from every page of this fiery and volatile romance that provides readers with a very entertaining mix of passion, laughter and adventure. The characters are strong, the emotional turmoil fits the story and characters so well that readers really feel as if they know and understand both sides of the conflict.

Little Red Riding Hood. Three Big Bad Wolves. A Poisonous Scheme.

Scarlet, a healer, lives nestled in the forest surrounded by humans on one side and wolves on the other. But when a rogue wolf attacks her, she's rescued by another pack and taken deep into their den to perform her healing magic on an injured Alpha.

The wolves in the forest are under threat from a mysterious affliction, and Scarlet is the only hope they have left. Faced with a mixed pack of threatened shifters, Scarlet must use her wits and magic to survive and unravel the strange affliction now affecting the wolves... All while trying to navigate an overpowering attraction to not just one, but three of the Alphas.

Witches, wolves, magic and love intertwine in an exciting mystery that finds its own, unique, 'Happily Ever After.'

Cursed (A Haven Realm Novel)

Beauty and the Four Beasts. A Deadly Curse. A Fallen Kingdom.

With magic banned in the human realm, Bee, a powerful witch, has had to offer her services in secret. When a request to break a curse comes from the dangerous mountains and royal bear shifters, Bee is hesitant, but winter is coming and funds are tight.

At the castle, Bee finds things are not quite what she was led to believe. The curse Bee is meant to break has reached its zenith, siphoning off the Prince's life while preventing him from controlling his shifting abilities. He is volatile, angry, and far stronger than she had imagined. His brothers, who commissioned her, present her with a challenge - fix it, or lose everything.

Soon the curse is spreading throughout the castle, taking brother alike. It's a race against the clock, buffeted by dark magic, intrigue, and a strange attraction that has her looking at the four brothers in a new light.

Note: Each book in the Haven Realm series is a standalone book.

Entangled (A Haven Realm Novel)

Tangles of death, danger, and monsters. Rapunzel and her sexy shifters must escape a witch’s vengeance.

At the age of eight, Elliana lost her father, her future, and her freedom in exchange for eternal captivity. Not to mention unimaginably long hair.

Trapped in a tower by a magical gargoyle, Elliana chances a few daring and ill-fated escapes in search of a powerful, hidden weapon, which could free her and kill the stone creature once and for all. But to do that, she must summon a sly dragon shifter, a ferocious lion shifter with way too much baggage, and a devious tiger shifter. But the witch who hexed her is returning to finish Elliana. Can she save herself and the heroic three shifters she’s slowly losing her heart to before they all die?

Dragons, lions, magical hair and love merge in this heart-wrenching tale that finds its own, unique, 'Happily Ever After.'

Note: Each book in the Haven Realm series is a standalone book

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three fairy tale retellings in this box set is mind blowing, hot, sexy, charming and daring. The setting of the stories is a combination of the old world that you would expect but at the same time a little modern and maybe even a little futuristic which adds to the ambiance of these stories as the author paints such vivid images that readers can easily imagine each and every scene which in turn makes it easy for the readers to become enthralled by the characters and their tales. All of the characters are strong, bold and demand their share of attention and the authors spin on the Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel fairy tales has unique elements that makes them all new stories but readers can still recognize the original form of the tales.

In Hunted, Scarlet stumbles upon a conspiracy that has her running for her life right into the hands of three sexy wolf shifters. Suspense builds as Scarlet tries to use her wits to save the wolves from a mysterious affliction and fight her magnetic attraction to the three of them.

Cursed has a Fallen Kingdom of bears putting all their hopes on a powerful witch named Bee who will have to unravel the truth behind the curse while fighting her own inner demons and keep her heart safe from not one but four bear shifters.

In Entangled, the young witch, Elliana has been held prisoner for years and in her desperate attempts to remain sane, she finds herself teaming up with a sly dragon shifter, a ferocious lion shifter and a devious tiger shifter, but there is one problem…she finds herself insanely attracted to all three.

Each of the stories can be read as standalone tales and are fast paced and full of thrilling suspense, sweet romance, and scorching hot passion as well as adrenaline pumping danger and spellbinding magic. There’s never a dull moment and readers can’t help but be charmed and delighted with such red hot fairy tales.

EXCERPT & BLURBS

Excerpt from Holly Hook:

I'm Ellia, Syndie's ugly stepsister. Mother knows this, so she works Syndie to the bone, but this whole time, she's been waiting. Planning. Syndie wants us on the streets, and despite my kindness, I'm no exception.

Following her to the Courts lands me in the hands of a handsome guard, Jasper. Literally. And he doesn't seem to notice my corset or frizzy hair. Nervous and secretive, Jasper wants to stop cruel Prince Calvin from becoming King, which he'll do when he chooses his wife at the royal ball. And now I'm key to a plan that can save my family and the entire Kingdom.

Our weapons? Two magical slippers. One gives false beauty--but only until midnight. Then the other shows the wearer's true nature. If Prince Calvin even holds the hand of his chosen when the clock strikes twelve, the spell hits him, too. Everyone will see the truth and he'll never become King.

He and Syndie deserve each other.

I must make her dreams come true. But Mother, my sister, and a kingdom of jealous girls will do anything to stop Syndie from snagging the Prince. But what terrifies me the most is that trapped slipper. I can't let Jasper see how ugly I am, but if it all goes wrong, I'll have to give myself to its magic.

The Kingdom must be saved at all costs, even if I must sacrifice my happily ever after.

**********

Blurb from Emma Savant:

Hidden in the city of Portland, Oregon, is a shimmering world of magic—one faerie Olivia Feye doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot wand. She’d rather study biology, or garden, or floss her teeth, or do literally anything except pay attention to the Glimmering world and her internship at Portland’s premier faerie godparent agency.

But when her supervisor is hospitalized after a flying pumpkin carriage accident, Olivia is thrust into the middle of a case. And this one won’t be easy: Her client is Elle, a barista whose plans don’t include an enchanted prom or Prince Charming.

The reward for a happily-ever-after is enough gold pieces to get Olivia out of the Glimmering world forever. But as she comes face-to-face with the complexities of faerie godmothering, she’s forced to wonder: How much is she willing to sacrifice for her own happy ending?

**********

Blurb from D.L Pitchford:

A modern day Cinderella with a twist...

High school seniors Noah Barton and Eden Prince have competed for top of their class since age seven. When their academic rivalry ruins a thermodynamics demo, their physics teacher decides to help them get along. By forcing them to be lab partners.

As graduation approaches, Noah and Eden are too busy figuring out college to deal with each other. Noah's football-loving dad sabotages his chance to win a big scholarship. Eden's traditional mother cares more about finding her a husband than encouraging her dreams.

Winning big at the regional science fair is their last hope.
Will Noah follow in his mother's footsteps? Can Eden show her parents the environment is more important than a boyfriend? Will Noah and Eden finally learn to work together?

Follow Noah and Eden's budding romance in this emotionally charged, gender-swapped retelling of Cinderella.

**********

Blurb from Cate Dean:

Sometimes, you have to create your own happily ever after...

Elle Summers spends her days taking care of her stepmother and stepsisters, but she is secretly working on her escape. With the help of her best friend, she plans to act her way to freedom.

When she auditions for a local production, her life is turned upside down by entrepreneur and producer Henry Winters. He needs a new leading lady for his Broadway production, and he wants her. He sweeps her off her feet and to the Great White Way, where she finally has her chance to shine.

But in the whirlwind of her new life, she forgets one thing – her stepmother and stepsisters.

While she starts to live the life she’s always dreamed about, they are plotting a way to bring her home. And if their plan works, Elle will fail - in a way that not even a fairy godmother can fix.
