Scale the giant beanstalk, retrieve the treasure, return home. Simple, right? Life for Twila, while not easy, had been fairly straightforward. Take care of her mother, tend the farm, placate her lazy and demanding “brother”, Jack. When an opportunity to change their fortunes comes knocking, she leaps at the chance. Or climbs it. But nothing follows her expectations when Twila finds herself in a magical realm above the clouds populated by fae. Still, finding unguarded wealth in this kingdom overflowing with jewels and precious metal shouldn’t be too hard. Guarding her heart against the handsome self-appointed guide who may be the key to unlocking her past is the real test. Twila thought her heart desired riches that could help her mother, but when answers about who she is and where she came from start coming to light, she’s torn. Time is ticking down and she must choose. Stay and risk her heart? Or return to the safety of her old life?
A desperate stowaway. A dashing pirate. Their quest to end Peter Pan’s reign of terror. Wendy Darling has never been called rash. But when she discovers her cruel stepfather intends to separate Wendy from her brothers, she gives in to their wish to run away to Neverland. She’s rewarded in ways she’s never dreamed: abundant beaches, a ready-made family of Lost Boys to mother, and her first taste of freedom. But Neverland is not all it seems. The Lost Boys are going missing, and it looks like Peter Pan is to blame. When Wendy stumbles across Pan’s secret, he comes for her, too. She manages to evade him by hiding among a ship’s cargo but when the ship leaves port, Wendy finds herself stranded on the Jolly Roger, the most feared pirate vessel in Jocestrian waters. Worse, her brothers have been left behind. Captain James Hook is as blackhearted as they come—and Pan’s sworn enemy. If anyone can defeat Wendy’s pursuer, it’s him. But something is strange aboard the Jolly Roger. Sure, Hook is as rude and high-handed as the stories say. But his crew treats him like the savior of the seven seas, not a notorious villain. If Wendy wants to save her brothers, she’ll have to convince the devilishly (distractingly?) handsome pirate to return to the site of his greatest defeat and face their shared enemy. But Hook is convinced she’s a spy sent to foil his plans. As she works to convince him Wendy begins to realize not only is her life at stake, but so is her heart.
What happens when twelve faeries with more power than sense bless a newborn princess?
Rhiannon has been in love with the Crown Prince of Brulark for years. Daystar still sees her as his little sister’s best friend. Thanks to her father’s matchmaking schemes, she has one last chance to change Daystar’s mind and get him to consider her in a romantic light before she’s married off to the most politically advantageous suitor. But when Daystar’s pixie-blessed (and ambitious) older sister, Aurora, returns after a decade of hiding, things get sticky. Suddenly, accidents are befalling the king on a daily basis and there are whispers of war. How can Rhia worry about gaining Daystar’s attention when his life may be at stake? A low/no spice, sweet retelling that follows the story of the characters who were omitted from the fairy tale we think we know and love, this book is perfect for fans of K.M. Shea’s Timeless Fairy Tales series or Hanna Sandvig’s Faerie Tale Romances.
