Summary
New York wedding planner Mercy Rose is looking forward to a future not unlike the fairy tales she creates day after day for her clients. She's even got the perfect prince to seal her fairy-tale fate. But when a hurricane savagely blows through her small hometown in rural Louisiana, it's her past she needs to worry about. Going home means risking more than finding her family's B&B in ruins; it could mean churning up every last piece of her past she thought was dead and buried. Mainly, every piece she ever shared with Frank Kingston. The boy next door and her first love. Determined to prove she's moved on, Mercy sets her sights only on matters of the hurricane and serving the community ravaged by it. But the longer she's here, the harder it gets to separate who she's become from who she's always been. And, the harder it gets to deny, the boy who broke her heart...could now turn out to be the man who still owns it. All Once Upon a Wedding stories are stand-alones and do not need to be enjoyed in order.

Tin
Summary
Men and I are done. Whatever entertaining notions I enjoy while screwing around with the random guys that cross my path are exactly that. Entertaining. I don't want more. I'm not capable of more. More would mean feeling. Would entail wanting. Desiring. And a slew of other emotions I haven’t experienced in over three years. And it's not due to any stupid naive intention of trying to keep my heart from breaking, nor is it as a result of having it broken by some poor slob who should have known better. I can't feel. I don't have a heart. Period. And it's going to take more than following some magic yellow brick road to get me a new one. Even if that road does lead straight to Riker - the only soul on earth who's as close to being dead as I am... and brings me as close to being alive as I'll ever be. Warning - This story contains adult material and possible emotional triggers for listeners with a history of abuse.

One More Chapter
Summary
Having overdosed on the cold, unyielding aspects of reality at an early age, books became a welcome escape I was happy to dedicate my life to. Editing romance novels seemed like the perfect career choice for the girl who craved fantasy and a world she could exercise a little control over. Bottom line, I like having a happy ending I can count on. Until...Jensen. Where I prefer to have my head in the clouds, unattached to the tumultuous roller-coaster of real life, his feet are so firmly planted on the ground, they're sinking in and getting buried there. Jensen seems an unlikely hero for any story, let alone mine. He's moody. And confused. And pretty damn sure there's no such thing as happy-ever-after. But then that's the thing about all the best happy endings. They show up when you least expect them to.

Don't Fall
Summary
When Tessa Harrison meets Michael McMichael (Yes - his parents were those people) her first instinct is to clobber him on sight. He's naked and standing in the middle of her apartment, clobbering seems sensible, and Tessa is nothing if not sensible.

Because it's all he's offering. And it's all her guarded heart knows how to accept. Tessa's convinced she's got everything under control but does she? It doesn't take long before the rules get blurred, feelings are revealed and hearts are on the line. Just as Tessa's about to take that last big leap, everything could end in one final crash. And it's all she needs to remember the lesson she learned years ago... You fall, you go under. You don't get back up. So you simply...don't fall.
