Gingerbread Men and Toad’s Wart


Book Description

Life isn't easy for a witch who bakes cookies instead of brews potions. It's a lot harder for a single witch living with a cranky basilisk. But Cresella's life is upended when a new client, Walter, comes looking for a batch of gingerbread men—and asks her to a Christmas party he's throwing. He's handsome, charming, sweet, but oh so human. Their worlds don't mesh, so a relationship between a human and a witch is foolish. She's also had bad luck in love, and with her floundering cookie business, does she have time for a romance that seems doomed from the start? But Walter offers her a tempting new world she finds hard to resist…




Ruby of the Realms


Book Description

What more could a dog ask for? But when Ruby meets Ortis the blue bunny, all of this changes. In order to help Ortis return to his home in The Six Realms, Ruby must jump into the family's pool with the rabbit. Ruby never expected anything to happen. But when the water started swirling and pulled her under, there was nothing the little dog could do. Now Ruby is in Rocia, one of the Six Realms underneath the earth. This new land is fraught with dangers at every corner, from hideous Crites to the ball-like Ozzixites. But something else has been silently pulling strings from inside the Diamond Dust Desert. An evil, older than the world itself, has begun its plans. The fate of the Six Realms and Ruby's home in the world above is at stake. Now, Ruby must brave these strange new lands to save everything she holds dear.




Gingerbread Knight


Book Description

Graham, a mysterious, enchanted knight, is skilled at finding lost things. His latest assignment is to find a woman and her cookbook—if he wants to win his mother's freedom. Devon did not intend to visit medieval times. She simply opened her grandmother's cookbook. Now she desperately wants to get back to her own time and doesn't know how. But she is still a woman who will stand up to the bully in the kitchens to protect the weak and helpless. When Graham falls in love with this courageous, cheerful woman from the future, he knows he must find another way to free his mother. Turning Devon over to an uncertain fate makes as much sense as gingerbread cookies without the ginger. Together they devise a dangerous plan, knowing failure means they will never see each other again.
