Shannon and Fletch come from very different worlds.  He's a percussionist who plays with an orchestra, and she's a closet vandal who unintentionally breaks men's hearts.  When she accidentally kidnaps Fletch instead of a music producer named Carver Criche, Fletch can't wait to give her a piece of his mind.  After all, she broke his cousin's heart.  He was not expecting to fall for her himself.

Evander is a complete mystery to Sarah.  She babysits his cousin and watches him from the corner of her eye.  He keeps to himself and Sarah has little hope of learning more about him until she's given a spell book he authored.  Is he a tortured prince? A bloodthirsty jester?  The owner of the haunted mansion or the man hired to drive the ghosts out? ​Only the book will tell.

Welcome to the world of Sleeping Beauty Inc.  You may have already had a Sleeping Beauty Inc. adventure if you've read 'Rose Red' by Stephanie Van Orman.  You can start with this story or that one. Book 1: Rose Red You can't buy a girl!  But in the year 2214, you can. She can whip you into shape, design your diet, be your personal stylist, and turn you from geek to chic in just one year.  After buying a model at Sleeping Beauty Inc. your life will never be the same. But what will happen when the model Harrison buys isn't exactly what he bargained for?  Book 2: Sleeping Prince Set in the deep future, Gage is a pilot transporting models for hire between the Jovian moons.  The girls are sold for a year or two doing everything required of them in their contracts.  Gage is a sold man himself, having sold himself to Sleeping Beauty Inc. until he turns 30, but that might be a while as he spends 26 days out of 30 asleep on his ship.  That is until one of the models he transports, Iona, has a contract for him.  Looking over the contract, he can't believe his eyes.  She can't really mean to buy him!

Leander is in a disgusting situation.  Yes, he's a knight.  His armor used to be shiny, but now it is coated in green guck as he steps through Spiknit Woods.  He's on a mission.  What kind of mission?  He doesn't exactly know.  His quest is to go to a castle on the edge of the domain and do whatever the loyal taxpayers require.  Lucky for him, it's to kidnap the Maiden in the red dress.  With one eyebrow cocked, there is absolutely nothing Leander cannot do.

Annaliese and Trip are best friends.  They were best friends through high school and went to university together.  Except, they have a secret that they've never told anyone... until they tell everyone.

Jenna Fairchild has a secret she has been keeping since she was a baby.  Under her headband, under her grandfather's fedora, under her headphone strap, and under her messy bun, she has been hiding a black crown.  No one could understand it, so she had to keep it hidden. That is, she had to keep it hidden until she was abducted by aliens, given riches beyond her wildest dreams, a palace to herself on an alien world, and been tasted head-to-foot by an enormous alien octopus.  Then she was ready to take her place on the political stage of the universe.  Jenna is not a princess, she's a diplomat.  Armed with arms that are less plentiful than an octopus's, with fewer suction cups, and only one person who can help her... Sardius, who is only a voice speaking to her through an earpiece, Jenna has to crown seven more diplomats or blue and red blood will spill.

Jenna Fairchild's crown is out in the open.  Now she is the chair of the Diplomatic Council for the Octavian/Adamis Alliance.  It would be a great job if her personal assistant, Sardius, hadn't gone missing in a prison riot, if her military wasn't constantly trying to kill her, and if her new assistant wasn't always so lippy.  Crowning new diplomats is harder than ever! It's a good thing the chair of the Octavian Council is such a good friend to Jenna.  Without Favel, what would she do?

Bart has a two-week dating pattern.  He wins them over with dinner dates, evenings out, and lavish experiences, but dumps them at the end of the 14 days.  He doesn't mind the mascara smears because they are not on him.  What will happen when his driver picks up the wrong girl?

The rain in Lindsay's life never stopped pouring.  She had spent her early twenties trying to become an actress, but at 26, she was beginning to realize that the clouds would never part wide enough for her dream to shine.  Insert Oliver, a playful comedian from her improv class.  He's spending the fall at his family's hotel on Vancouver Island and he's invited Lindsay to join him and his brother in tearing the place apart.  She needs money and she wants to hide from her disappointed family.  It seems like the perfect place to start a new life.
