This is a story about a girl and a book. It is a book of fairy tales, and a girl who is rather ordinary, until she finds herself quite literally sucked into the stories she had known all her life. But the world of Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty is a turbulent one at the best of times, and it has been thrown into further turmoil by Rikki Collin's unexpected presence. The paths of the stories have been disturbed, and with the Book being the only key as to how to set right what she has ruined, Rikki--with the help of two not-quite-knights-in-shining-armor--has to give every story its happy ending before an ancient evil awakens and can take advantage of the twisted path. Once upon a time, there were no happily ever afters.

What happens when a runaway heiress falls for an ex-con who's just trying to stay out of trouble? Madison Campbell has everything a girl could wish for: brains, beauty, and wealth. But until she turns 21, she and her fortune under the control of her cruel stepfather and his psychopathic son. Too frightened to stay in the home she grew up in, she hits the road, determined to get to the west coast where she hopes she'll be safe. Clint Stevenson made some mistakes and paid for them with prison time. Now he's on parole, and all he wants is to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds him when he picks up a pretty young hitchhiker on her way to California. Soon his life-and his heart-are wrapped up in her, and he'll risk anything, even his freedom, to keep her safe.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
