Head Over Heels "A Cinderella Story" by Lena Matthews (originally published 11-11-08 in e-book format)
Sometimes you have to make your own happily ever after.
Working at the Glass Slipper is anything but a fairytale for Cyn Elder. After one especially long day, all she wants is to kick off her shoes and put her feet up, but she reluctantly lets her friends drag her out to a new club.
Movie mogul and fledgling club owner Parker Maguire is bored with the Hollywood scene and its plastic women, and the club scene isn't proving to be much better. Until he finds a sassy woman refusing to back down from his overzealous bouncer.
Cyn is a breath of fresh air, neither impressed by celebrity status nor bowled over by his charisma and wealth. She's honest, genuine—and arousing in more ways than he could have ever imagined. For once, Cyn puts herself before her shop and lets herself be swept off her feet by a man who pursues her with a delightful vengeance.
Her father's evil girlfriend and her two lazy daughters, however, see Cyn's new happiness as nothing more than a threat to their own comfortable lives. Their plot to break the two lovers up could turn Parker and Cyn's "once upon a time" into a "happily never after."
Unless Cyn's Fairy Drag Queen can pull something out of her pink-chiffon sleeve...
Mistress to the Beast by Eve Vaughn (originally published 06-17-08 in e-book format)
Can this beauty tame the beast?
Her father's shop is more than just a family business. It's the place they lovingly call home. When a powerful property development company stoops to barely legal tactics to force them to sell, Lila's outrage spurs her straight to the source to fight the injustice.
A serious accident left Hunter Jamison's body scarred. A bitter split from his latest lover has left the former playboy without faith in the female sex. Yet, confronted with Lila's fiery beauty, he finds himself offering her a deal: If she'll be his mistress for three months, he'll allow her father to keep the shop.
A simple agreement? Hardly. It's a battle of wills that flares into much more than either of them bargained for—a consuming passion that could heal Hunter's soul-deep scars...or inflict new ones
