Gender Swapped Fairy Tales


Book Description

Discover a collection of fairy tales unlike the ones you've read before . . . Once upon a time, in the middle of winter, a King sat at a window and sewed. As he sewed and gazed out onto the landscape, he pricked his finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the snow outside. People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma, something previous versions of these stories were missing, and so they decided to make one vital change.. They haven't rewritten the stories in this book. They haven't reimagined endings, or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change, but you'll be dazzled by the world this swap creates - and amazed by the new characters you're about to discover.

Handsome Beast


Book Description

A modern re-telling of a favorite fairy tale — with a twist.Once upon a time …On the day after Thanksgiving, Nic Graziano heads to remote upstate New York to carry out his foolproof suicide plan. Apparently, he needed an idiot-proof plan, because now he's soaking wet, cold, and hopelessly lost in the woods — who would have thought dying of exposure was so difficult? He finds shelter by breaking into a remote mansion, figuring he can talk his way out of a B&E charge in the morning. Then he wakes up naked — and alone — in Gavin Lovatt's sinfully comfortable bed.Instead of calling the police, Gavin offers Nic a hot meal and a change of clothes. And more, if Nic can believe the looks Gavin is giving him. Nic thinks that a few days of hot rebound sex with a good-looking man is exactly what he needs before going home and rebuilding his life.Gavin turns out to be funny, affectionate, and sexy as hell, and if Nic can just keep reminding himself this is temporary, everything will be fine. And yes, Nic has questions, lots of them — like how come a wealthy man in a huge house has no apparent household help — but he can't seem to remember to ask. On top of that, Gavin disappears every single night, only to reappear in the morning.Nic is the first guy to admit that everybody has baggage, but not everybody has creepy supernatural baggage … and the truth may be stranger than Nic could ever imagine.
