Guest Blog: L.K. Below: Every Girl Deserves Her Prince

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?

CONTEST ALERT: Tell me your favorite fairy tale for a chance to win Beauty in His Bed. Bonus points if you can guess the fairy tale that inspired the book!
