Belair’s Tale
Kelsey Green
I, Belair Draven, the golden boy of Newhill, New York, always has a plan. I need to be in control, and I hate surprises. Hence, why learning one of our towns darkest secrets profoundly disturbed me beyond measure. Her name is Princeton Emberly. She’s a woman I don’t know and cannot desire. A woman our town sees as a Beast, her ghostly reputation as dark and twisted as the house she is confined to.
However, despite her scars and broken pieces, her hauntingly beautiful soul draws me in without words. Darkness surrounds her. And the closer I get, the more I feel utterly useless against her pull. Perhaps I could liberate her from isolation, or maybe, she’ll drag me down and trap me in her cage forever.
Belair’s Tale is a dark and passionate retelling of Beauty and the Beast, where the fairytale romance is reimagined into a modern-day forbidden affair, where darkness exudes from every illicit corner.
Raphael’s Tale
A.C. Arthur
Ruthless, brooding, and downright delicious, enforcer for the Platinum Ryders MC Club, Raphael “the Sleeper” Banner is a dangerous man.
He thought he’d built the life he wanted until a stunning betrayal landed him in jail. Unlike others around him, Rafe didn’t find religion while locked up, he accepted his destiny; and her name was Camri.
Arranging for Camri to show up at his penthouse the day after his release was easy enough, keeping her there and in his life forever was going to take a little more work.
Tenacious, compassionate loctician extraordinaire, Camri Myers took her lemons and made them into lemonade with the birth of her son.
With a thriving business and a two-year-old to raise on her own, she wasn’t about to turn down an in-home client visit with a huge tip—even if the client was the Sleeper.
Falling for a bad boy before had brought her a world of heartache and physical pain, but when Raphael touches her, she’s suddenly ready to risk it all again.
Raphael’s Tale is the timeless story of Grimms’ Rapunzel re-imagined into a sexy friends-to-lovers novella set in the world of a notorious motorcycle club. It can be read as a standalone, but there are other books in the Platinum Ryders series.
Ash’s Tale
Kimmie Ferrell
A Favor … Redemption … One Night … The Chance of a Lifetime
Ash
When I agreed to help my best friends out, I never thought the favor would be accompanying a stranger to a charity masquerade gala while pretending to be her boyfriend. However, learning the masked beauty is none other than Charmin Henry, Blackity Black Television’s Princess and the host of its highest rated show, Charm’n the City sweetens the deal. I’ve loved Charmin since I was a teenager. But this is no fairy tale where the characters fall in love with a simple kiss. Thankfully, I have well beyond the stroke of midnight to make this a night she’ll never forget.
Charmin
I was used to living my life under the scrutinizing stares of the public, but after a disastrous breakup, I sunk into the background. Attending BBTV’s charity gala is the perfect opportunity to remind everyone … I’m that girl. Not wanting to go alone, I enlisted the help of a matchmaking-slash-date-for-hire service. But once Ash arrives, cancelling sounds easier than going through the night with a man who exudes an intensity that intrigues me while his touch leaves me flustered. Accepting the unexplainable pull between us is a given, but is one night enough to make me forget the man behind the mask?
Ash’s Tale is a sensual, passionate reimagining of the classic fairytale Cinderella, where the best kept secrets are guarded by the heart, and a night of dancing with a masked stranger can change your life. With a flick of the wrist, the story you once knew is transformed into a novella with a modern-day twist. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo

When my grandmother needs help, Devyn is the only one who can help her … and me. Yet, just as I think I’ve convinced her to give us another chance, my past comes back to haunt me.

Snowden’s Tale
Sherelle Green
During my days with the NFL, it was a running joke to call me Snow White instead of Snowden because unlike the fairy tale, I wasn’t the fairest of them all. I was grumpy, scarred, and hardened by a life in organized crime working for the Dark Trinity syndicate. I didn’t belong in the world of polished lies and trust fund babies. I belonged to the hunt.
But then she came. My Snow Queen.
Icis was beautiful black ice with lips like frozen sin and a chilly gaze that could carve the soul from a man’s chest. She didn’t save me. She made me hers, reshaping me with every frostbitten whisper… Until I forced her to realize that she was no match for a man who was sculpted from the harshness of winter.
When a common enemy arises, the last thing I expect is to be forced to work with the one woman who almost destroyed me. Back then, I should have fought harder not to get caught in her blizzard. Now, she’ll have to try to survive mine.
Snowden’s Tale is the merging of the fairytales of Snow White and Snow Queen reimagined into a dark romance where a devilishly tempting mountain man is torn between vengeance and his desire for his icy ex
