About this book

In spite of her husband being a baron, the Grimm family matriarch is concerned with the prospects of her children as they lack funds. She pushes her oldest daughters to make a good match, which means title and wealth not love. However, every Tom, Dick and prince who comes by, all prefer blonde heiresses as none choose either Greta or Rae. Even the frogs they find dumped in their beds alas remains amphibians. Their Prussian bully Aunt Vivian invites Rae and Greta to visit her at her barony Snowe Manor in the Black Forest, which they do. Rae meets a widowed Baron and his horde of children and Greta falls in love with an obnoxious Prince not charming. However, with their aunt acting amorally abhorrent, each sister still wonders if they found their fairy tale romance or are they going to end up like the ogress in a nightmarish fable.

DESIRE'S CAPTIVE Fiery heiress Meg Fairmont shuddered as she recognized the man who had abducted her. From the moment she'd encountered handsome sea captain Tristan Hall at her relatives' gypsy camp, he'd mistakenly believed her a shameless temptress whose favors were his for the asking. She had eluded him then, but now he held her captive --- and subjected her to sweet, insistent caresses pulling her close --- sensual, demanding lips igniting every burning inch of her --- and a wanton, all consuming passion that made her cry for more. PASSION'S PRISONER Tristan's dark eyes glittered hungrily as he tightened his grip on this elusive spitfire. Despite her protestations of innocence, the raven-haired beauty had cast a seductive spell over him from the first, with her defiant spirit and enticingly lush body. And when he tasted the rich honey of her mouth and felt her shiver with desire, he knew she had forever claimed him with a sweet, wild enchantment from which he would never be free.
