When Mollie starts to prefer the dreams she's having to the painful reality of life, she's forced to choose between embracing a fantasy or the man she loves. ***** Since she was seven, Mollie Cutright has known two truths: she loves Howard Flynn and her dreams are the most magical part of her life. Each day she suffers at the hands of her abusive parents, but each night she is surrounded by a loving family who call her by a different name. Growing up in 1930's Virginia, no one has patience for a girl who might be mad, so Mollie strives to keep her dreams (and how often they intrude on her reality) a secret. But when her secret comes out, Mollie is sent to an asylum, though not before she and Howard are secretly engaged. It is at the asylum she discovers the dreams are echoes of her past lives. She's an immortal, if she makes a journey to claim her heritage. The problem is, if she continues down this path, she can never see Howard, the love of her life, again.

Daring, mysterious, smart, cunning, overly rich and most of all; breathtaking. Men in every realm wish to be with the Unseen Princess. Some seek fame while others seek the inheritance of the wealthiest kingdom known to ever exist. But none actually consider the young princess as a living person. Just an obstacle to achieve their lifetime goal. So when Leopold Blanchard proposes to this princess, kingdoms far and wide sit on the edge of their seats, waiting for the results that come with being the husband of Regina Mills. Will he be after the mountains of gold that are supposedly found in the dungeons of her castle, or will he appear in every army and counsel to be found? But then the princess goes missing, leaving the upcoming King to rule his new kingdom. And although Leopold may not be a ruler yet, he knows what's about to come his way. The disappearance of Regina Mills? Not an accident. And she figured as much. Leopold was a smart man, but she would've figured a less intelligent plan from such an old man. As she struggles to survive in a poor village far from home, she is taken in by a clan of people. Regina struggles to keep her identity a secret while trying to find a way to get back home and secure the safety of her kingdom. There's only one man she seems to trust enough to take her through a journey with no return. Robin Locksley. Join Regina, Robin and a whole kingdom of villagers as the odd couple struggles in romance and survival. Will Robin find out about Regina? Will Regina return safely back to her home to maintain her aristocratic life? Or will something go terribly wrong?

Gentle ripples passed over her, a watery caress that contrasted with her growing unease. Blinking slowly, Eliza tried to make sense of her situation. She found herself submerged, an unexpected aquatic world unfolding around her. Panic crept in as her ankles remained bound, immobilized as if by an unseen force. An attempt to move her arms yielded no results - they were ensnared in an unyielding grip. Seaweed, sinuous and trailing, wrapped itself around her legs with an almost possessive hold. Every movement was thwarted by the constricting tendrils, her struggles mirrored by the rippling sea plants. An urgency to breathe set in, her chest tightening in a desperate plea for air. But the very element that should sustain her had become a stifling barrier. A strand of slimy seaweed clung to her lips, smothering her mouth and nose. It seemed as if the water itself had turned against her, a sinister transformation that threatened to consume her.
