Once upon a Time, in a Kingdom that was just a little twisted (oh yeah, and kinda far away), Fairy Godmothers Rule! Elf Kings drool, and two people were pondering the question—What makes a Beauty, and what makes a Beast?
Too bad they didn't bother to share their answers with each other...
Known as Beast in his village for both his hulking size and multitude of scars, Benton long ago resigned himself to a life without love. He was content with his solitary existence—that is, until Nissa entered his life, and suddenly this beast wanted to become a beauty.
Plain and plain-spoken, Nissa came to the village three years ago looking for a fresh start and a quiet life. She had both until the day her friend Benton disappears and a new man arrives at the village—handsome, charming, and intent on courting her. Which is very strange, because since when does a beauty want a beast?
A Fairy Godmother comes a'callin and grants Benton his wish. Now the Beastly Benton is the Beautiful Byron, and our B intends to use this new identity to make Nissa fall in love with him. However, scars don't have to be visible to exist. Will Nissa's past destroy any chance of their Happily Ever After?

Once upon a Time, in a Kingdom that was just a little twisted (oh yeah, and kinda far away), Fairy Godmothers Rule! Elf Kings drool, and a Knight was having a bad time with a Dragon.
Too bad he didn't realize the Dragon would be the least strange part of his day...
Fairy GodMOTHER. As in female—it's right there in the name. With those divine dimples, killer blue eyes, and hard muscled body, no one's going to be mistaking Tiernan for a female anytime soon, but due to a wish gone wrong, Tiernan is now the only Fairy Godfather in existence. Strangely, most Fairy Godmother's don't have a problem with this change in the status quo...all except the one Fairy Godmother who he'd go and win a kingdom for.
Reina has never been like the others. Organized, efficient, logical—and liking the status quo, thank you very much. After all, the FGs do not need a stubborn, infuriating, feckless male messing up tradition, and she wants him gone—like yesterday. Circumstances arise that just might let her get her wish, but in a way even she never wished for.
After a run-in with the not-exactly-nice Elf King, Tiernan's employment status is called into question, and he is given the task of getting a woman named Cinderella a Happily Ever After or lose his position as a Fairy Godfather and go back to being mortal. Problem with that, becoming a human again means he'll become Dragon chow. So Cinderella will get to the ball and get her Prince if he has to dress her down to her shoes himself, and he's bringing Reina along to help. If he's going to get a HEA for a mortal, darn sure he's going to get one for himself as well.

In the unbearable heat of another sultry Washington, D.C., summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital’s most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies’ man Detective Ben Paris.
Scarred by his family’s history, Ben has even less use for shrinks than Tess has for him—but the forces of animal magnetism and a shared desire to catch the demented criminal known as “The Priest” inexorably erode the walls they’ve built. They’re opposites in so many ways, yet that seems only to fan the flames of attraction for which danger has supplied the spark. To stop a killer who thinks he can absolve sins through murder, Ben will need every ounce of psychological insight Tess can offer him. And she’ll need the help of a lawman willing to stare fear in the face if she’s going to avoid becoming the madman’s next victim.
