I am fascinated by fairy tales. So, naturally, they tend to sneak their way into my stories. To give myself an outlet, I decided to create a book (or two!) integrating my favorite tales.
The books
sprouted from a fun, saucy idea. An invert of the tale, "Princess and the
Frog" in which the heroine, on Halloween, dresses in nothing but green
paint and finds her prince at a racy Halloween party. That idea morphed into
book one, Never a Princess, Always a Frog.
The idea for
book two, Beauty in His Bed, hit me out of nowhere. I'd been looking for
a way to tie in two halves of the story, a link between the characters in New York
City to some bold characters in New Orleans. Then my
muse unveiled Amy Somers to me.
Amy is
definitely in need of a prince. Self-conscious about her weight, and burned
from a recent breakup, she retreats to New Orleans to forget
about the man she thought she would marry. There, she meets her Cajun prince.
Seb may not
have princely motives, but he definitely can't resist Amy from the moment he
sees her sleeping in his bed. And he is just the man she needs to boost her
self-confidence...if he can chip away the ice shielding Amy's heart.
Are you as
enchanted by fairy tales as I am?
