Fairy Tale Heat Series

Maybe I was the girl Clara didn't want me to be. Here I was, with the goblin king, and I didn't want him to stop. For the past ten years, the Goblin King has stayed locked away in his caverns. He only opens his doors for one purpose: he will give one gold coin for every night a girl is willing to spend with him. Despite his fearsome reputation, his fangs and claws, the girls come back safe and sound, and they never say a word about it. One must be very desperate to accept such an offer…or very curious. Well, everyone says curiosity has always been my downfall. Too clever for a girl so beautiful. Now my family is on the brink of losing everything. My sister Clara knows the goblin king's story has always intrigued me, and she's willing to sacrifice me to get her hands on his money. But I finally have the chance to sate my curiosity. What will I find when I get there? A man who is cruelly cursed, haunted by a past misdeed? Or the man who will unlock all of my secret desires? It has been a long time since the Goblin King trusted anyone, but if he is willing to trust me, I might be able to save him and his people. But the witch who cursed him is close at hand, and she doesn't play fair. Beauty and the Goblin King is a fairy tale retelling for those who like an adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!

It gets pretty lonely, spending your entire life in a tower. The Witch told me she was keeping me safe from a dangerous world. But one day, when I let down my hair, the Witch wasn't the one to climb up. His presence was so overwhelming; his hands steady on my back, his lips and tongue marking me forever with the taste of a man. I was used to being alone a lot of the time, and wandering around the tower sort of aimlessly, trying to decide what to do once the chores were done. Now his mouth was telling me what to do and oh, it was good. Prince Dorin of Yirvagna, from the darkling lands, is tall and dark, with horns and a tail...and the first man I've ever seen in my life. He tells me I'm his bonded mate and I must come with him, and if I'm not so sure about this (admittedly charming) prince, the Witch's plans for me are worse. And when Prince Dorin stands in her way, her retaliation is swift. I taste freedom for the first time at the cost of Dorin's eyesight...but can I find a way to lift his curse?

"You will marry the very next man who walks in that door." As the only princess of a prosperous kingdom, I have wanted for nothing—and refused all suitors. What real man is worthy of my interest, when I secretly pen tales of handsome lords and beautiful brooding counts? But now my father has gathered up every eligible royal bachelor in all the realm. And it's just as I suspected, not one to capture my fancy—especially King Brennus of the Wood Elves, who looks like a bandit and has the accent of a man born in a barn. I'd rather be on my own forever. I refuse them all. The last thing I expected was for my mild-mannered father to insist, in a fit of anger, that I marry the next man who walks in the door, even if he's a peasant…and what do you know? "No, lass. I won't let you starve. But you won't exactly be free either. And just remember, any time you like, you can stop me. All you have to do is work or beg." My new husband looks like a laborer and lives in a little cabin in the forest, but something tells me he's not what he seems. He says he means to teach me humility in the form of honest work, making stew and scrubbing floors. But somehow or other, he knows all my secrets, all the deepest desires of my heart, and there is no one in the forest to hear me beg him for mercy...except the wolvenfolk who howl in the forest at night. They haven't made any trouble in fifty years, but when the wolves are at the door, I don't know if a peasant can save me… The Beggar Princess is a retelling of the Brothers Grimm's King Thrushbeard, a standalone fairy tale romance for those who like unabashedly adorable happily ever afters with a side of serious steaminess!

The moment I lay eyes on him, I sense he is everything I've ever dreamed of. And I've dreamed of a lot. Hansel doesn't want me to stay. I defy his wishes. He's my brother, not my master.

And much to my surprise, so is my tutor. Mr. Arrowen has a human name and human manners, but golden eyes don't lie. He's wolvenfolk, to be sure, pretending to be a proper gentleman. Wolves know their mates right away, and I can't deny the attraction I feel—but somehow, he can, and he does.

"Did you come here to seduce me, little mite? I think you leave me no choice but to teach you a lesson." I'm the tallest unmarried girl in my village...and also taller than all the boys. This did nothing for my prospects of finding love. So instead, I went off to seek my fortune. It led me to a circus by the sea...and rumors of the last living giant.

He'd kill for me. I'll die without him.   My mother has promised me to a complete stranger. She says he is the doctor who saved my life when I was ill--but I've never known a doctor like Dr. Madsen. When I wake from my illness, he has marked my skin with the tattoo of a tree that spreads across my whole body--and heats at his mere presence, crying for his touch. We are married quickly, with no friends or family, and then he steals me away.   I dreamed of being an artist, and now I am the wife of Torvald Madsen, the lord of a northern keep at the edge of troll country.

"You want to learn magic, dearie? I will teach you my ways…if you can survive it…"   All I've ever dreamed of is to learn the ways of magic, but the village witch casts me off because I can't read. I'm just a poor miller's daughter, but the most beautiful man I've ever seen finds me weeping by the side of the road, and takes pity on me.

Now the handsome man has returned and as it turns out, he's a king—and my father tells him I can spin straw into gold, since…I might have told a few wild stories about where that damn coin came from. Now I'm locked in a tower by a king who knows I'm a liar who spent his coin, and if I can't spin the straw into gold, I'll face his punishment. He's more of a jerk than I thought, but he's the king, so what am I to do?   Enter the Trickster Mage—a ragged, wild goblin sorcerer. He'll teach me to spin the straw into gold but in exchange he asks for the most wicked bargain I can imagine—and I will learn the secrets of the most exquisite and horrible patience. Caught between these two men, I learn more than I ever imagined—and more than the goblin sorcerer ever imagined as well, because as we grow closer, I begin to see the man behind the Trickster Mage—and grow closer to his true name.    The Goblin's Price is a fairy tale retelling of Rumpelstiltskin for those who like an adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!

He comes to me at night, in the darkness. The monster I was sworn to, against my will.

He is under a curse, and he needs my help, but why should I help the brutish, dominating, barbarian king? I was meant for more than this; my father was a great mage but try as I might, I never had his talent for magic. Although he gave me everything I wanted, I know I'm a disappointment, and that's why I was thrown into this horrible position to save my kingdom from the Troll King's wrath. Although my dominating new husband has no patience for me when I try to act like a princess, and there is also a tender side to him. He's protective, massively strong, and has a strategic mind that I didn't expect. But he also has an enemy of his own that I didn't expect. The barbarian troll princess he once snubbed, who hates the "soft, pretty races" with a vengeance and cursed him with the form of a bear so he could never form a diplomatic alliance. If I want a happy marriage with my troll king, I'll have to break the curse--and much to my surprise, I think I do.
