Beauty And The Beast… — Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Andrew Vari, and I'm short (very short), and not exactly handsome. Actually, that's only partly true. My real name is Darius, and if you caught a glimpse of my true form, you might just swoon. It was my arrogance about my looks and magical powers that got me into this fix. I'm living under a curse the Fates placed upon me two millennia ago. My penance is to unite a thousand pairs of soulmates—however long it takes. Here's where things get complicated: You see, I just met the most amazing woman. Her name is Ariel Summers, and she's smart, beautiful, athletic…and very mortal. I should know—I saved her life. But the whole thing happened when I was looking way easier on the eyes. I thought she'd never track me down once I was back in my Andrew Vari “disguise,” but she did, and now—like it or not—she's in my life. The problem is, I do like it—and it looks as if she's falling for me, too…warts and all. I'm so close to completing my mission—but if finding a “true love” for Ariel is my last assignment, this job may never get done

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO My name's Vivian Kinneally, and I can't believe this is happening to me. I just moved here to Portland, Oregon, to take over a business left to me by my favorite aunt —- nothing earth-shattering ... or so you'd think, right? I've always been a little bit psychic —- but my powers never hinted at what was to come when I let three gorgeous, terrified women into my home at 6:45 this morning. As The Fates would have it (did I mention these supermodel lookalikes are The Fates?) my life was about to change forever. It seems they're temporarily powerless, and need my help to escape a mysterious enemy. Knowing I can't do it alone, they've sent me in search of one Dexter Grant. And now that I've found him ... wow. We're talking Superman, here —- hold the tights, cape, and big red "S". I've always been an independent kind of gal, but something about this guy makes me want to let him fly me to Paris —- and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't need a plane to do it ...

Private investigator and 150-year-old mage Zoe Sinclair help the Three Fates, who are forced to become mortals when a magical object is stolen, reclaim the artifact while trying to deny her attraction to a gorgeous blue-eyed man named Joe. Original.

L.A. psychologist Megan Kineally has always had her feet planted firmly on the ground, which is more than she can say for her pampered clients. So she has to wonder what she's now doing hanging around in Vegas with her brother, Travers, his mysterious new fiancée, his son, Kyle, and three loopy women who call themselves The Fates. Travers says he called her there for babysitting duty, but Megan soon learns that there's more to this little trip. A whole lot more, not the least of which includes getting the Fates an appointment with elusive business tycoon R.H. Chapeau (known to friends as Robbie), and helping them get hold of a magic (yes, magic) spinning wheel...hidden in a faerie casino. If she weren't so concerned about her brother's sanity, Megan could write a bang-up paper on this delusional crew. The problem is, charming—not to mention drop-dead gorgeous—Robbie makes the whole bizarre plan seem perfectly rational. It also doesn't hurt that he calls Megan "fair maiden" without a smidgen of irony, and is smitten with her red hair and generous curves. Would it be so wrong to let go—just this once—and do something crazy? There's only one way to find out...
