Novelist Juniper Blossom has romance down to a science in her bestselling books. But she's not about to settle for just any man-a happy ending looks different for everyone, and she needs to find the guy who's idea of forever matches her own. Try telling that to her adorable, meddling grandmothers though. If she doesn't find a man soon, they're going to find one for her. And that's why Juniper has prepared for a trip home to Ever After by fibbing that her sexy, smart, sweet best friend Tomas is her fiancé! He doesn't believe in love at all, but that doesn't matter if they're just pretending... Divorce attorney Tomas Rivera is as proud of Juniper's authorial success as she is, but that doesn't mean he buys into her books' premise. His career is proof enough that true love is the real fairy tale-and everyone knows fairy tales aren't real. But he can never say no to gorgeous Juniper, and an "engagement" might move him one legal brief closer to partner at his old-fashioned firm. Yet playing the part suddenly starts to mean feeling it, especially when a kiss just for show turns up the heat between them. Is happily ever after possible for two people who aren't on the same page when it comes to love?

SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE CURSE... Disgraced wedding planner Zuri Davis is so relieved to be offered a job with Fairy Godmothers, Inc., she's willing to trade the high-rise excitement of Chicago for the small-town charm of Ever After. Falling for one of her grooms, even unintentionally, was enough to destroy her career-and also to prove that all men are indeed frogs. But when she meets gorgeous B&B owner Philip Charming, who definitely lives up to his name, even she is tempted to test that theory... AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE CURE... Three hundred years as a frog by day and himself by night is enough to test any man's patience-even if Philip knows he deserved Petunia's curse.
