Book Description
It’s not easy being a doll girl in a flesh-and-blood world. Although her race was created from magic as second-class citizens, Sorla’s baked goods are now famous for miles around thanks to her hard work and unrelenting optimism. She’s even attracted the notice of Prince Seldon, who invites her to work at the royal bakery in the capital. The one thing Sorla’s life is missing is love. Her youthful crush ditched her for a normal girl with generous curves (of course), and technically she is unsexed (parts sold separately). Flesh girls certainly don’t have to save money to buy themselves lady bits before they can even date. Her ride-for-hire to the capital? Dorr, a soldier revived from a battlefield death, as is the way of his necromancing clan. He might rather have been left to die with his comrades. Instead, a few parts of their bodies were stitched on to fix his. Scarred and broken, Dorr wants to drop off his overly cheerful companion as quickly as possible—until he realizes that her pastries are the only thing that’s tasted good since his revival. As they slowly open up over dog rescues (her idea), graveyard strolls (his idea), and of course, delicious pastry, love and trust grows between these two misfits. But the war isn’t over, and when the royal family expect Sorla’s pastries to save the life of the hero of the realm, she might lose Dorr and everything she’s worked for. Cross a Ghibli movie with The Nightmare Before Christmas, add a little spice, and you might have the quirkiest of romcoms. "With achingly sweet moments and unforgettable characters, DOLL GIRL MEETS DEAD GUY was the cozy fantasy romance I didn't know I needed. Take one brooding and broken boy returning from the battlefield, one bright girl with a gift for making just the right pastry to bring him to life (literally), and add just the tiniest hint of spice, and you have the ideal book to warm your heart." - Brigid Kemmerer, NYT Bestselling Author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely and Defy the Night

Book Description
In this “sharp, scary, gorgeously evocative tale of love, art, and obsession” (Paula Hawkins, bestselling author of The Girl on the Train), a beautiful young woman aspires to be an artist, while a man’s dark obsession may destroy her world forever. The Doll Factory is a sweeping tale of curiosity, love, and possession set among all the sordidness and soaring ambition of 1850s London. The greatest spectacle London has ever seen is being erected in Hyde Park and, among the crowd watching, two people meet. For Iris, an aspiring artist of unique beauty, it is the encounter of a moment—forgotten seconds later—but for Silas, a curiosity collector enchanted by the strange and beautiful, the meeting marks a new beginning. When Iris is asked to model for Pre-Raphaelite artist Louis Frost, she agrees on the condition that he will also teach her to paint, and suddenly her world expands beyond anything she ever dreamed of. But she has no idea that evil stalks her. Silas, it seems, has thought of only one thing since that chance meeting, and his obsession is darkening by the day...

Book Description
My world isn’t safe. The northern gate lies open and monsters roam the land. Towns are locked behind walls, protected by the emperor and his Black Army. Once, a fated priestess and her four guardians kept the gate sealed with magic, but there hasn’t been a priestess in over a century…or so I thought. When a monster attacks me within the walls of my village, I am saved by Sir Forrest—the quiet former soldier who came to Istim three years ago. Turns out, he’s been watching me. Waiting for my powers to awaken. I am the fated priestess. But there have been others. The genius commander Abel and the Black Army have killed them all. Sir Forrest found out the truth, and now he is driven by his sacred mission to help me find my guardians and bring me to the gate. All I have to do? Find them and join with them in the Grand Quintet to grant them the powers I apparently hold, close the gate, and save the world…without suffering the same dire fate as the priestesses who came before me. I’ve always liked attention…but this is too much. This reverse harem epic fantasy romance trilogy is for those who enjoy plenty of steam, strong heroines, a few hot guys (and one who is just pretty and probably sparkles), more tragic pasts and secrets than any group of people should reasonably have, and winged cats.

Book Description
He'd kill for me. I'll die without him. My mother has promised me to a complete stranger. She says he is the doctor who saved my life when I was ill--but I've never known a doctor like Dr. Madsen. When I wake from my illness, he has marked my skin with the tattoo of a tree that spreads across my whole body--and heats at his mere presence, crying for his touch. We are married quickly, with no friends or family, and then he steals me away. I dreamed of being an artist, and now I am the wife of Torvald Madsen, the lord of a northern keep at the edge of troll country. Although he is handsome and protective and encourages me to paint, he is keeping secrets from me. Why is it rumored that he had other wives? Why do I grow so cold without his presence? Why can't I go into the east wing? And why are his eyes full of such pain? As I peek back my husband's secrets, the truth might kill me--or set us both free. This is a fairy tale retelling of Bluebeard for those who like an adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!

Book Description
“You want to learn magic, dearie? I will teach you my ways…if you can survive it…" All I've ever dreamed of is to learn the ways of magic, but the village witch casts me off because I can’t read. I’m just a poor miller’s daughter, but the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen finds me weeping by the side of the road, and takes pity on me. He gives me my first kiss and a gold coin, and tells me that if I can hang onto the gold coin for one year, he’ll return and make my dreams come true. Well, how on earth is a girl supposed to hang onto a gold coin when she’s freezing and hungry? Now the handsome man has returned and as it turns out, he’s a king—and my father tells him I can spin straw into gold, since…I might have told a few wild stories about where that damn coin came from. Now I’m locked in a tower by a king who knows I’m a liar who spent his coin, and if I can’t spin the straw into gold, I’ll face his punishment. He’s more of a jerk than I thought, but he’s the king, so what am I to do? Enter the Trickster Mage—a ragged, wild goblin sorcerer. He’ll teach me to spin the straw into gold but in exchange he asks for the most wicked bargain I can imagine—and I will learn the secrets of the most exquisite and horrible patience. Caught between these two men, I learn more than I ever imagined—and more than the goblin sorcerer ever imagined as well, because as we grow closer, I begin to see the man behind the Trickster Mage—and grow closer to his true name. The Goblin’s Curse is a steamy fairy tale retelling of Rumpelstiltskin for those who like an adorable happily ever after fairy tale romance.

"Be careful, sweet," he said, with a flash of a grin that made me realize just how handsome he could be. "It's dangerous to feel too much in Never Land.” When I took Peter’s hand and flew with him to Never Land, escaping the fate of my overworked peasant mother, I thought it was a dream, but all I found was a cursed land. Peter expected me to tell stories and mend clothes all day like I was his mother, and at night, he cried out with nightmares. In Never Land, no one really grows up. At least, not on land. With my first womanly thought, I turned into a mermaid and Peter forgot my name. Yearning to escape, I was caught by the most dangerous man on the island—the very grown up, cruel pirate Captain Hook. I’m trapped in his chambers, and he makes me a very naughty bargain—but how long before that bargain becomes something more? Something that might destroy the secret that holds Never Land together and frees two lonely hearts? Captain Hook and the Mermaid is a fairy tale retelling for those who like an adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!

"Did you come here to seduce me, little mite? I think you leave me no choice but to teach you a lesson." I'm the tallest unmarried girl in my village...and also taller than all the boys. This did nothing for my prospects of finding love. So instead, I went off to seek my fortune. It led me to a circus by the sea...and rumors of the last living giant. Apparently, he doesn't much care for people, but the ringmaster offers me riches beyond my dreams if I can entice him to come down from his home in the forest. Well, it was fortune I was seeking, and fortune I'm determined to find, so I climb the magic beanstalk to his hidden home, but...the giant is not amused by my plan. At all. And it turns out, his home is one big trap of faery vines. I'm snared by an antisocial but surprisingly handsome giant--and for the first time in my life, I've met a man who makes me feel delicate. He might want to punish me for trespassing, but...it feels more like passion. Only, the world isn't safe for the last giant, and maybe it's not safe for a woman who loves him either. The Giant's Captive is an adult fairy tale retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk for those who like an adorable happily ever after fantasy romance with a side of serious steaminess!

Book Description
“[Evokes] both Jeanette Winterson and Ian McEwan . . . an elegiac and uplifting novel about the indissoluble bonds between mothers and daughters, and a reminder of how the imagination can set you free.” — The Guardian On Ruby’s thirteenth birthday, a wish she didn’t even know she had suddenly comes true: the couple who raised her aren’t her parents at all. Her real mother and father are out there somewhere, and Ruby becomes determined to find them. Venturing into the forest with nothing but a suitcase and the company of her only true friend—the imaginary Shadow Boy—Ruby discovers a group of siblings who live alone in the woods. The children take her in, and while they offer the closest Ruby’s ever had to a family, Ruby begins to suspect that they might need her even more than she needs them. And it’s not always clear what’s real and what’s not—or who’s trying to help her and who might be a threat. Told from shifting timelines, and the alternating perspectives of teenage Ruby; her mother, Anna; and even the Shadow Boy, The Doll Funeral is a dazzling follow-up to Kate Hamer’s breakout debut, The Girl in the Red Coat, and a gripping, exquisitely mysterious novel about the connections that remain after a family has been broken apart.
