Sweet As Sin
by Jodi Lynn CopelandIn forty hours and six minutes Emily Sorenson will be a harlot forever. She will be if she can't find a way to lift the curse that was placed on her before she was born, that is. Emily has no idea who's behind the hex that turns her into her sex-crazed alter ego, Tammy Getsaround, every night at nine o'clock. She only knows she isn't fond of waking up in strangers' beds and not having the vaguest notion how she got there.Dade Foundree hasn't returned to his hometown of Lone Pine, Colorado in fifteen years. He'd just as soon never again step foot in the tiny town full of imbeciles who spent his childhood ridiculing him for his parents' behavior. He's done his best to forget both his youth and his deceased parents, most notably his half-wit mother who was convinced she was a witch, and would prefer to keep it that way.On an appeal from his grandma, the one responsible for first convincing Dade of his worth, he finds himself back in Lone Pine. Soon after arriving, he learns that Emily Sorenson, one of the only ones to treat him like both a friend and an equal back then, is in trouble. At first, Dade believes that trouble to be something that requires little more than soothing words and a trip to the hospital, but he quickly learns otherwise. Emily's troubles aren't something a doctor can fix. She's cursed, about to be so forever, unless they can find a way to lift the hex fast. Dade soon realizes he holds the power to lift Emily's curse, but doing so means embracing a past, a parentage, and supernatural powers he never even wanted to consider.

Sweet Clematis (Being(s) in Love #9)
by R. CooperA Being(s) in Love StoryCan a curse be a blessing? Clematis works hard to embody every fairy stereotype. He can be a sulky prince or a submissive flirt, slutty and arrogant or silly and soft. He makes himself into whatever causes someone to want him. Combine that with beauty that’s incredible even for a fairy, and everyone wants him sooner or later… just not for long. Well, everyone except the fairy Clematis secretly adores. But then, he’s never expected happily ever after, not when he’s spent years burying his emotions and making himself unlovable to push people away and protect his heart. But his curse changes all that, and Clematis can no longer prevent his feelings from rising to the surface. He’s terrified that when his few friends see him for who he really is, they’ll abandon him, just like his parents did. It’s hard to imagine friends who see past his act to the sweet person within, but maybe happiness has been in front of him the entire time, waiting for the real Clematis to break free and blossom.
