Sweet
2020
Ever since I saved her sophomore year science experiment from literally going up in flames, I’ve known that Greta Rose is the one for me.
She’s sassy, smart as hell, and has a sweet body I’d love to taste every inch of—Greta’s the girl of my dreams.
Two years later, we’re high school grads with the world at our feet.
The only thing that stands between us and happily ever after is my controlling mother.
There’s no telling what she’ll do when she discovers I’ve been hiding the love of my life from her for years . . .
Hank and Greta’s standalone story in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series is very loosely inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel and features:
• high school sweethearts
• double virgins
• sweet and sexy young love
• #lakelife
• cookies!
The Once Upon a HEA series is what happens when folktales and contemporary romance meet, fall madly in love, and have lots of little book babies. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and only consensual shenanigans await. Happily ever after guaranteed!

2020
_I’m not looking for love. I’ve got priorities, and my music career is at the top of the list. I’ve got lots of time to let love sweep me off my feet later.
Then, thanks to reports of rats at the recording studio, I meet Calina, and everything changes.
She’s strong, sassy, and so damned gorgeous that it’s hard to keep my hands off her.
But Calina’s got a problem—a big one—that I never see coming. She’s trapped and she’s looking for a way out.
The only question is if I’m ready to be her hero . . ._
Pax and Calina’s standalone story in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series is very loosely inspired by the story of the Pied Piper and features:
• a modern marriage of convenience
• sexy new adult romance
• billionaire romance
• a saucy AF little sister
• rats! (maybe…)

Wake
2020
_I see Rory Walker coming from a mile away, literally, and as soon as I set eyes on her sashaying down the street, I know—I’ve got to have her.
And not just her body, although those curves are damned succulent. I’ve got the hots for her bright mind and thoughtful heart too.
Then I realize that she’s open to the social justice issues that weight heavily on me and I’m a goner.
I’m all hers, if she’ll have me.
But between her restrictive upbringing and the general unease that most folks seem to feel around activists like me, I’m not at all confident she will.
Then again, maybe I can wake her up to the kind of life we could share if we’re able to accept each other as we are . . ._
Apollo and Rory’s mostly standalone story in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series is very loosely inspired by the story of Sleeping Beauty and features:
• sexual awakenings
• over the top instalove at first sight
• a curvy librarian
• an exploration of social justice & activism
• ice cream!
