What would you do if your quirky grandmother left you a few hundred thousand pounds, an empty shop and an email full of instructions?

Elspeth's grandmother has done just that. Armed with some money and a little bit of good ol' fashioned determination, Els finds herself on an adventure that she never came to expect. While some instructions appear orthodox, like opening up her own fruit and veg shop. But, like going to her local homeless shelter to recruit troubled, but handsome Ty, take her out of her comfort zone.

 But with planes to catch, a shop to run and a wacky few months ahead of her, Elspeth is going to need need some help.

A Time Traveling Fairytale by ElsaS7
56 parts Complete
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine. Time travel. An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right? Oh, who am I kidding. . . At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need. One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn. After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny. What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events. So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes, and a broken soul. After all, there is no flying from fate.

ESCAPE TO PARIS

Reya didn't imagine herself leaving her advertising job for a start-up non-profit by her mid-twenties, but she also didn't expect a sudden breakup with her college boyfriend. She seriously needs to shake things up, and what better way to do that than a holiday in Paris? New time zone, lost luggage, and her best friend thousands of miles away...the glossy guidebooks of Paris start to seem like an out-of-reach fantasy. Things turn around at Paris's most famous department store, when Reya meets an elderly French lady who needs a little help. From there an unlikely friendship with Madame Billeaux begins, complete with her charming grandson Francois. As Reya's growing attraction to Francois gets harder and harder to deny, her escape to Paris will turn into a full-blown adventure...
