Ever After (Smith)

Holding out for a hero? Eh, not so much. Felicity Hart doesn't have the time or inclination for love. She's too busy working her butt off to complete her Master's Degree. So what is she doing at a Halloween party dressed like a Cinderella-wanna-be when she could be home studying?-or better yet, sleeping. Oh, God, yes. Sleeping Beauty had the best idea. What's the worst that could happen if she catches a quick nap in the host's bedroom? Well... Caught by the panty-dropping homeowner, Jared, her first instinct-aside from dying of embarrassment-is to run, but her sexy prince convinces her there's no need to rush off into the night. There's plenty of room in his bed for two. When she wakes up the next morning wrapped around him like a vine on Rapunzel's tower, it's not just her shoe she leaves behind, but her whole dress-and maybe, just maybe, a tiny sliver of her heart. With a little help from friends, Jared tracks down his runaway princess so he can return her dress. Over lunch they discover have much more in common than just sexual attraction. Jared might be a workaholic attorney, but his fun side is ready and willing to play...in the hot tub, in the shower...He's the kind of man Felicity never thought existed: A damn good man with a bad boy's soul. But can a fairy tale romance survive when the pressures of real life interfere? Or is happily-ever-after just make-believe?

This prince charming has the world at his fingertips. Anything real estate mogul Thad Worthington wants, he gets-except true love. Until one cold night when he meets a woman with a warm heart. But his would-be princess has no desire to risk her heart for a second chance at a fairy tale, not when she's already widowed and a single mother. After one scorching kiss that leaves him changed forever, Thad won't let his princess run from him. When her wicked stepmother threatens to ruin this fairy tale, Thad is left holding a glass slipper and searching for the woman he can't live without.

Getting stuck in Switzerland over Christmas with your ex-boyfriend's nemesis isn't a good thing…or is it? When Shana Pimms finds Chicago's resident bad boy lawyer Roarke Covington in her hotel room claiming to be her roommate, she's more than a little confused. She'd only agreed to help her ex-boyfriend out by traveling overseas to negotiate a real estate deal for her father's law firm. The last thing she's ready for is the handsome, oh-so-sexy, Roarke to play prince charming to her Cinderella… Roarke can't believe his luck. For a man who hates Christmas, this sure is shaping up to be one heck of a Christmas miracle because he gets to share a hotel room…and a bed with Shana, the girl he's secretly been in love with for years. There's just one problem, Shana doesn't trust him because her ex-boyfriend has her convinced he's the villain in her fairy tale life. With a little seduction, and a lot of Christmas magic in this snowy little town, Roarke will prove to Shana he can be her dirty little secret…and perhaps the love of a lifetime.
