"I was truly captivated with the relationship and how it grew in the best, and yet flawed way." ~White Hot Reads
Once upon a time, a girl attended a big party at the palace, met a prince, and they fell in love…
My name is Claire Montgomery, and I'm no princess. I'm a fighter. I've worked hard to earn my place with one of the largest public relations companies in the country, and I'm on the verge of one of the most important victories of my career. We've been called to Stone Global Corporation to clean up the family's filthiest laundry, and I'm on my game. I'm ready. But am I ready for Killian Stone?
They say it's never too late to live happily ever after…
I'm Killian Stone. They call me the Enigma of the Magnificent Mile. Elite tycoons want into my bank account, and their wives and daughters want into my pants. They'll do anything for a piece of the enigma―until a crack in our castle is too large to ignore. I'm thrilled. This scandalous fissure distracts everyone's attention from the bigger secret I'm hiding. But when Claire Montgomery walks through my door, I'm captivated. For the first time in my life, I long to shed the enigma. To share…my secret.

No More Masquerade
Behind every good man...is the love of an even better woman. Those were just pretty words before I met Claire Montgomery. Before my fairy queen burst into my life, I didn't recognize the bastard in my morning mirror—but her love has given me the strength to face the imposter, even embrace him. With Claire at my side, I'm the king I always wanted to be, the Killian Stone I always dreamed of becoming.
Which means for once, I want the mask guarding my secret to stay right where it is.
If you want the grown-up fairy tale... learn to love the dark side.
Profound sentiment. Wish I could get on board with it but the prince in pinstripes has other ideas. Life has been a dream since Killian burst into the ball offering the perfect fit—
his heart and mine.
But the treasures he bestows have become his armor, hiding the man I yearn to know.
I refuse to open his little velvet box until he opens himself, letting me see even the dark hallways of his soul...
Fate has always bowed to my bidding.
I should have known it was just picking it's time to exact the best revenge, to reveal the secrets that will destroy everything. Without my disguise, am I still the man Claire fell in love with...or another penniless prince vying for an unattainable dream?
Mistress of his ruin?
He always told me to be careful what I wish for. By demanding his truth, have I not only demolished the dream we had...but the man I've loved more than any other?
No Perfect Princess
What came first? The princess or the shoes? And does it really matter?
There's a lot of baggage attached to that answer.
My name is Margaux Asher. Yes, that Margaux Asher. The attitude icon. The bitch in the latest heels. The princess of the PR game—at least until last winter, when Mommie Dearest revealed a secret she's been hiding since birth. My real father is one of the world's richest men. Dream come true, right?
Like I said…baggage. And now, Michael Pearson wants to help open it.
Michael. My six-foot-three, golden god of a dilemma. He's patient, indulgent—and don't get me started on his passion—but he wants too much. He wants the secrets. What would he say if he really knew them? What would he do if he learns…I'm no perfect princess?
Someday, my princess will come…
The apple never falls far from the tree? Depends on who you ask.
I'm Michael Pearson. Son of an apple farmer. Now, I'm working for one of the country's most prestigious PR firms—
And I'm the sap who's fallen for the boss's daughter.
It doesn't matter that the rest of the world vilifies Margaux. I see she's just a terrified girl, yearning for a place where she's loved—but every time I volunteer for the job, she pushes away. It makes me more determined to give her a magic kiss, setting her free to finally see the truth.
I don't want her to be perfect. I just want her to be mine.
No Magic Moment
My name is Margaux Asher—and I'm in love.
Crazy, right? Me, the girl who grew up in the lap of luxury and the shadow of cynicism, is now head-over-heels for an apple farmer's son. He rocks my world and steals my breath, and he loves me for me. Trouble is…he wants all of me. How can I commit that to him if I don't know who 'me' is? There are pieces missing—and not just mine. Unless Michael opens up and shares all of himself, our great beginning won't ever become a lasting magic tale.
Don't look at the man behind the curtain…
My name is Michael Pearson—and I'm in love.
Margaux is the fire of my dreams, the fulfillment of my fantasies, and the woman who's asked the impossible. When your past has been hell, how is it possible to return to it? But fighting this isn't an option. I have to battle my ghosts or lose her forever. Can I do it? Is love enough to change a person's soul, or will our magic become a forgotten moment for us both?
No Lucky Number
Business trip or trip of a lifetime?
Talia Perizkova has been working toward this moment her entire career. Now she finds herself sandwiched between two of the most eligible bachelors in the country and can barely focus on the task at hand.
And that's fine by Drake Newland and Fletcher Ford.
They're all business around the office, but when they get Talia to themselves off the clock, things really heat up. Now if they can just convince her a three-way relationship could fit into her world…
Will Talia take a chance on her newly discovered feelings, or is their weekend of passion destined to end them before they've even begun?
No Simple Sacrifice
If I could turn back time…
My name is Talia Perizkova, and time has been on my side…until I told it to kiss my ass during a business trip to Vegas and experienced a night for the record books with my bosses—yes, my bosses. But what happened in Sin City refuses to stay there, and time has joined forces with his pal, karma, to exact payback—from the depths of my heart.
Fletcher Ford. Drake Newland. They're two of the business world's sexiest, most sought-after bachelors—and I've fallen for them both. Their passion is everything I crave, their protection is everything I need, and their love is everything my orthodox family will never let me accept.
The solution, according to them, is simple. One man steps down so two of us are happy.
I could find a way…
But sacrifices are rarely simple, and one plus one doesn't always equal happily ever after. The three of us have to decide—take a chance on this rare love we've discovered…or give in to fear and lose each other forever?

He'll never find true peace, and he's accepted his fate…until his new intern shows up and turns the only world he knows upside down.
Ashley awakens emotions in Dale that he never dreamed possible, and though he resents her intrusion into his life, he can't deny the sparks that blaze between them. Still, he must remain distant.
