Planet Bear

2018

Jessica White never intended to stray from her intended path. Her assignment was hard but simple. Travel through the unrestricted path of space corridor that runs between Planet Bear, Planet Wolf, and Planet Cat to human territory to deliver the packages the Union have entrusted her with. The pay day she gets when she completes her job will seriously help her family. But when she gets attacked and ends up crash landing on Planet Bear, her life changes immediately. Finn, Cole, and Rylan aren’t just any shifters—they run the planet—and if they want their human mate accepted they’re going to change everything to get what they want. She is their mate. Everyone else can get out of their way. But Jessica isn’t at all sure she wants to go along with this mating. Their furniture is too big, their food is weird, she’s not a bear shifter, and she can’t defend herself from crazy bears shifting to threaten her life. The brothers three will have to convince her they’re worth all the adjustment or lose her to space.

Snow and the Shadows

2018

Princess Snow Cavell finds herself captured by her evil stepmother and handed over to seven ruthless men known as Shadows—the most feared assassins in the known galaxies. Snow’s link to the Cosmos is a threat, one that can no longer be tolerated if her stepmother intends to win the war and rule the Intergalactic Alliance. Their orders are clear—either execute her or deposit her on one of the slaver colonies to be sold. But the Shadows have other plans for the beauty, plans that will fracture alliances throughout the galaxies and shift the tide of the Intergalactic War. No one controls the Shadows. They’d sworn to remain neutral during the War, but all bets are off now that Snow’s life hangs in the balance. \\Author's Note\\ This work was originally published in April 2018 as part of the Once Upon a Harem Series.

Stiltz

2018

Cameron Darke is a dhampir—half-vampire and half-human. She's also the firstborn child her mom promised to give up. Rather than sacrifice her only daughter to the immortal assassin known as Rumple Stiltz, Cam's mother went on the run, moving them from old trailers to rusted cars, under bridges or onto park benches. Cam's never known anything but poverty and desperation. But at twenty-five, she's an adult who's ready to make her own choices. The Vampire King is looking for a queen, and Cam intends to take the throne. The immortal bachelor has declared he'll only wed a woman who can spin straw into gold. A seemingly impossible task for some, but Cameron Darke knows exactly who can help. Rumple Stiltz' kin. The firstborn sons taken by Rumple in his many bargains are now adults, known as the Stiltz Brothers, and the three assassins are exactly what Cameron is looking for. Once upon a time, their leader spun straw to gold for Cam's mother, and now she intends to use his kin to win her crown. But this time, the Stiltz' boys don't want to take Cam's firstborn child—they want to give her one … personally. Cam enters a fool's bargain with three dark, deadly men. But it's she who intends to double-cross them. She just never expected to find her heart on the line.

Their Royal Ash

2018

Life as a princess isn’t as glamorous as it seems. For Tia Ashley, it’s a well-hidden secret. One she’s willing to take to her grave. Her step-father, King Balsatra, isn’t a caring ruler or father. He killed her mother and turned Tia into a servant. Her stepbrothers couldn’t help her out of fear of their father’s wrath. The day Tia turned eighteen, she fled the palace and far away from the Kregon Kingdom to a small village where no one knows her. Her new life is short lived when her three stepbrothers and their two guards arrive asking questions about the missing princess. There was no way she was going back to the palace to endure any more of the King’s abuse. Conell, Ayen, Elion, Kieran, and Jonah had other plans. The kind that involved taking the throne and ending the Kings rein of terror.

Ruffled Feathers

2018

The jungle was lovely. The trees and vining flora had awoken. Their verdant new growth stretching upward to fill in the canopy. Luscious blooms in every shade imaginable seemed to unfurl before her very eyes. It was the season of rebirth, her favorite time of year on Braccio, and yet Cygne felt out of pace with all of nature. She didn’t begrudge nature for her beauty. Cygne just wished it had cast a fraction of its bounty her way. But some things weren’t meant to be, no matter how much you wished for them. Cygne knew life had more to offer, so she left her lush valley to find it, rather than burden her flock any longer. That’s when she found them, the five vibrant males who looked like her. All her life Cygne thought she was damaged, deformed, only to discover she wasn’t Braccio at all. For a brief moment she knew what it felt like to be normal, only to have it snatched away again, when she realized that even among her own kind she was drab and lifeless. Yet the winged males insisted she was beautiful. Cygne didn’t know if it was a cruel joke, and she couldn’t figure out what the handsome broodmates wanted with her, as she became wrapped up in their foreign world. But it was so nice to be wanted, even if it was all a pretty dream. Follow Cygne in this retelling of The Ugly Duckling, as her broodmates ruffle her feathers with heated kisses and tender touches, coaxing her into believing not just how beautiful she is, but that true beauty lies within.

Girl in the Bearskin

Adelina Yousef is sent home penniless and thankless for the job she’s done protecting her country. On her way home, she meets a demon, who tests her courage: If she lives for a full seven years under a cloak of a bearskin, never washing, never trimming her hair or nails, she will forever have all the money she will ever need. If she dies during the seven years, he claims her soul. She agrees, and at first she lives okay, but as the years go on, as people being to turn their backs on that ugly, filthy girl in the bearskin, her courage begins to falter. Can anyone ever look past her appearance to give her food, shelter, or even love? And why does the demon follow her so close, and tempt her at every turn to give up, to give her soul to him?

While Beauty Sleeps

2018

“She shall prick her finger on a spinning wheel, and fall to sleep...” There once was a girl who was born to be cursed. By no fault of her own, she was doomed to remind her kingdom of everything ugly. No matter how many good deeds she did or how kind she was, it was her destiny to die, and take her kingdom with her. Her mother and father wept when they saw her, and the witch who cursed her celebrated gleefully as each year passed. Except there was hope. Her sisters, older and wiser, and with no small amount of magic of their own, countered the witch's curse. If Kumiko could be loved, truly loved, the curse would be broken, and everyone would see what the witch had hidden. But all her life, Kumiko had been let down—by the parents who hid her away and by an ill-fated curse. Until they arrived. Four princes, full of smug confidence and pride, were determined to break the princess' curse before her twenty-first birthday. All they had to do was fall in love.

Tink And The Lost Boys

2019

The Lost Boys are more than just a motorcycle club – they're a family. The last of their kind, the seven male nymphs banded together as children, creating a business empire in the human town of Neverland. Four others complete their odd little family; a trio of human siblings, and Tink, one of the last fairies in existence. Life as a fairy is complicated for Tink. She is governed by a set of archaic laws due to the enchanted blood flowing through her veins, and she is also able to produce pure magic in the form of fairy dust. But her biggest problem? Her wings sprinkle the glittery stuff whenever she is aroused. Given she lives with a bunch of intensely alluring nymphs, Tink is in a constant state of sparkle. Trouble descends in Neverland in the form of rival gang, The Hooks. The satyrs are the natural born enemies of the nymphs, and when they ride into town seeking Tink and her precious magical blood for their own twisted agenda, Pan and his two lieutenants, Nate and Tao, must step up and claim Tink as their own. It’s hardly a chore – the three nymphs have been in love with the motorbike-riding fairy for years. But does the stubborn Tink feel the same way?

Crimson Hood

A monster roams the night in the sleepy town of Charlotte... This is not your bedtime fairytale. Not your safe and sweet ending.

When a horrible event happens in her younger years, she's taken away and grows up feeling the hatred for the nightmare haunting her town. It seems like no one will believe her about what she saw way back then. That there is no possible way the horrors stalking the night were... werewolves. There are three men who do believe her though. A long-time friend who has been in love with her for years, the therapist's son who has called dibs, and the stuffed-shirt assistant professor who opens her eyes to a new world. And when two burly lumberjacks, who take what they want, join in? They go hunting. Cassandra's goal is always to fight for what she believes in. While two wrongs don't make a right, in this, the werewolf has to die. All she needs is the confidence resting under the cloak of her Crimson Hood. "Grandpa, what big ears you have," I mocked, holding my whip. "Bet you wished you finished that fairytale now, don't you?" The werewolf snarled at me.

Thank you for your interest in my fairy tales. Here's to the imagination and a little daydream. https://www.amazon.com/author/stephan... http://www.stephaniewestauthor.com https://www.facebook.com/StephanieWes... Writing is my hobby. As a child, I had a hard time learning to read, so anything I took an interest in was deemed acceptable. I have always enjoyed fairy tales, the older unsanitized versions, as well as the modern ones, mythology, science fiction, action and romance. As I read, my mind wanders, spinning its own tales. So, I figured I’d share my ramblings with you. The books I write contain little snippets from my life. I leave it to you to decide which scenes are fact, fiction, or a bit of both. I am far braver and bolder than is likely sensible, so my heroines are just as gutsy. I'd probably be categorized as an adrenalin junky. My life has been an adventure. I've done archaeology in the hot sun, am well versed with power tools, took Tae Kwon Do in college, have ridden on a Harley with a dark stranger, but never met an alien, vampire or shifter, that I know of. My stories are tawdry, feature a heroine who is gifted in some way, and will always end happily ever after. It is my opinion this is meant to be entertainment, and a depressing ending is not entertainment. Real life offers enough depressing crap. However, I have been called dark. My apologies for my horrific grammar. It is something I struggle with. It is probably connected to the slow reading thing. Believe me people have tried. I truly hope that my fairy tales make up for it.

C.M. Stunich is a self-admitted bibliophile with a love for exotic teas and a whole host of characters who live full time inside the strange, swirling vortex of her thoughts. Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn't mind - especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed. She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she's not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She's the author of over thirty novels - romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There's a heck of a lot to do there. Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She's already looking forward to it.
