Romantisk fantasy

I've been criminal partners with my best friend Greyson McNamara for a time now. We made an agreement to do all the crazy teenage things together, including pulling practical jokes, sneaking out to parties, and joy riding in our parents' automobiles. It was never on that list to date each other, surprise, surprise. It's not like Grey has a terrible appearance or something. Wink, wink.Let's return to the topic of not dating. We've been told for years how great we would make a relationship and how well suited we are to one another. Naturally, we always laughed it off until that very day.After two consecutive breakups at the end of our senior year, all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. This includes our belief that dating over the summer prior to college wouldn't affect anything. We committed to remaining friends through thick and thin. We have nothing to lose, as I mentioned. So what if I'm not correct?

Once upon a time, two worlds collided...and nothing was ever the same again.At twenty-eight years old, all Gwen Winters has to show for herself is a relationship in shambles. While her best friend is getting married and moving on, Gwen can't help but wonder if she will ever obtain the life she's always dreamed of. Just as things start looking up, an unfortunate encounter with a cryptic fortune teller instantly turns her entire world upside down. Gwen is snatched from the familiarity of her reality and finds herself trapped in a terrifying and magical realm where nothing is as it seems.In this strange new world, fairytale characters are real...but these are not the stories she'd always been told. Red Riding Hood's wolf is bewitched, the mermaids are murderous, and Prince Charming is far from the hero. Even the smooth-talking pirate captain is not the complete scoundrel she thought he'd be. With his help, Gwen sets out on a daring journey to seek the one person who can help her get back home.In this high-stakes adventure that she never asked for, danger lurks around every corner. Trust is hard to earn-and even harder to give. And while her ill-fated feelings reluctantly grow, Gwen must consider if, like everything else she misunderstood about the fables, happy endings just don't exist.

As an invading army looms on the kingdom's doorstep, Princess Ava's concerned father hires a knight to protect her from capture. Worried that his virginal daughter might bed a man, the king hires a woman to guard the lonely young princess . . . never realizing it might have been better to hire a man after all. For Liadan, the Knight of the Wild, soon becomes Princess Ava's first knight. Don't miss the first installment of this lesbian romance series! -- "You mock me, knight? Noble blood or no, I could have your head!" Ava warned. The knight cast her eyes down. "No, your highness. I only marvel at your beauty. Your eyes did make the world cease for one tremulous moment." Princess Ava flushed again, this time with pleasure, though she hated herself for it. -- "But I am the princess of Realm Illa," Ava said, finding the courage to lift her face, letting her shyness fall away. "If you and I were found together, my father would behead you! Does that not frighten you?" Liadan only smiled. "I think it would be a worthy death, your highness, to taste the softness of your lips." Ava's heart leapt as she realized which lips the knight meant. She bit her lip and looked down again, trying not smile, ignoring how Lysa watched them both with her mouth hanging open, the silly fool. --That morning, the table was covered in dishes boiled eggs, kippered herring, and bread. Ava started filling her plate. So did her father. "How do you like your new bodyguard?" King Eyvor asked - so suddenly that Ava nearly dropped her egg. She recovered quickly enough and answered, "V-Very well, Father. She is very . . . dutiful." And strong and beautiful and good with her tongue, Ava thought dreamily. When she looked up again, her father was watching her curiously. She quickly lowered her eyes and took a sip of watered wine. By the gods, she was a bad liar. She prayed he didn't suspect her. --"Hmm," said Ethne thoughtfully. "The lass makes sense. With my help, and with her knowledge of the passages, we might be able to steal the princess away." She placed a gauntlet on Liadan's arm. "But consider it carefully, good Liadan. We shall be exiled from Illa, never to return. I know we were heading for Hastow either way, but . . . are you willing to give up everything you are and everything you have for Ava?" Liadan looked at Ethne helplessly as she said, "Everything I am and everything I have is already hers." --"I-I suppose if you are to be my knight that I should know your name," said Princess Ava, trying to keep her composure and feeling like a fool. "I am Liadan Rossi, your highness," answered the knight politely. "Yes, the Rossies," said Ava thoughtfully. "So mild-mannered for a barbarian, aren't you?" she observed in amusement. Liadan smiled, her blue eyes firing prettily. "If you would have me behave otherwise, your highness . . ." Ava blushed hotly.

Watching the most desirable man that ever walked the planet is captivating. He is titillating mouth-watering with so much sex appeal. All women look at him, they stare with lust, seductiveness wanting him to pay attention to them, but he does not show interest. I just stood watching him as he stimulated my senses. He casually walked towards the office, not even taking a glance around him. My heart began to slow down when he disappeared into his room. Then the door closed. So many sighs could be heard coming from women who had their mouths agape. I smiled, taking my seat to finish my workload.
