    About this series

    Fairytales, set in the present day.

    "Music tumbled out across the lawn, palpable as a wind. It seized them, whirled them about, and they danced like bright-colored butterflies across the grass …"

    When singer-songwriter Zoe Banks is reunited with her father, Riccardo King, she hopes her life will improve. But life in Riccardo's mansion is far from idyllic: her half-sisters resent her, and now she's expected to have a bodyguard? Granted, this Jubilee seems pretty hot, but still …

    Ex-soldier Jubilee Johnson never planned to work in personal security. But when three old women present him with a high-tech cloak and a job, he's powerless to resist. At least now he gets a chance to meet the beautiful singer, Zoe.

    Events take an unexpected turn when Zoe and her sisters appear with bloody feet and no memory of where they've been. Riccardo is furious – years ago, his oldest daughter, Alice was kidnapped. Is Zoe's new bodyguard even up to the job?

    But as Jubilee gradually uncovers Riccardo's secrets, he realizes: time is running out. Can Jubilee prevent a repetition of the past, or will Zoe be the next daughter to disappear?

    Ghostly Melodies is the first novel in The Dancing Princesses – a new series of fairytales set in the present day. Because there's magic everywhere, just waiting to be found.

      Christmas Magic in the Air It's Christmas in Berlin. Fatima, refugee and street performer, is invited to play at a mysterious ball – but she needs a special costume to do so. Enter a peculiar store, staffed by a cat and a strangely attractive man. But Fatima's not interested in any entanglements. After all, she no longer believes in happy endings... Alice is the prequel short story to a new series, The Dancing Princesses. *** "There was a sign on the door. Going closer, she read: 'Open until Closed'. With a mental shrug, Fatima turned the handle. Somewhere in the dim recesses of the store a bell jangled, and jangled again, when she closed the door behind her against the cold.  Inside felt delightfully cozy. Glass lamps, inlaid in rich colors, hung from the ceiling. Two old, cracked leather chairs were set against an overfull bookcase, and more books were piled in the windowsill, pressing against another lamp, the golden lettering on their spines reflecting the light.  The place was quiet, save for a fire crackling happily on the hearth. Fatima held out her hands to its warmth. The place smelt of musk and mystery and appeared more a library than a store. Or perhaps it was a bookstore …"
