Brent:  I needed a roommate bad.  My financial situation required me to find one fast so when the beautiful Hannah appeared at my doorstep, I wasn't in a position to say no.  Little did I know that she came with more baggage than curves, including a jealous ex-boyfriend that might just chase her across the country to get her back.  If he showed up at my door, he would find out that my boxing trophies weren't just decoration.  As for Hannah?  The sweet little virgin was going to be more than my roommate if I had anything to say about it.

“Anton Thorne.  Come with me, you’re out of here.”  The large Hispanic guard named Gabriel that worked my block hit the front of the cell with his wooden baton and motioned for me to follow him when the door opened.“Has it been five years already?”  I lifted my head off the pillow and sat up.“No, but you’re getting two years knocked off for good behavior—or overcrowding—yeah, it’s probably the overcrowding.”  He grunted and waved his hand at me again.  “You sure as fuck haven’t done anything to earn an early release for good behavior.”“Well shit.”  A devious smile spread across my face.  “I guess the legal system works after all.”I followed Gabriel down the row of cells filled with men that I had spent the last three years of my life with.  I knew most of their stories and they were similar to mine.  We were all small-time criminals that didn’t deserve maximum security, but were too poor to qualify for the posh white collar prisons upstate.  If my family would have been wealthy I would have spent three years getting conjugal visits instead of jacking off.  The scars on my knuckles were a result of making sure jacking off was the only form of sex I had while I was locked up.  I didn’t mind a nice tight asshole, but I needed a pussy and some tits attached to it or it just didn’t the job for me. Gabriel took me to the processing center and I quickly collected the few items I had when I was locked up.  My wallet was empty, of course, but they gave me what was left in my commissary account in cash.  It wasn’t much, but it was enough to buy a bus ticket.  I got dressed and then I walked past the line of guards at the gate.“You’ll be back, Anton.”  A fat guard named Will, with jelly in his mustache from his latest donut raid, chuckled at me.“They always come back.”  The woman next to him named Glenda, who was of similar size but shorter, nodded in agreement.

They call me Mr. MistakeI've got a reputation.While you're falling in love, I'm looking for the door.I guess you could say I've got a type.I don't like the easy girls.I like the good girls.  Girls like you.---I may have met my match with Abby.  My charm just doesn't seem to work on her.  I could give up and find someone else, but I like a challenge.I'll just have to turn up the heat.

I asked my father for a rose. It nearly cost him his life. I found myself alone in a castle, surrounded by seven beasts living under the curse of a witch they had all wronged at some point in their lives. Each of them were plucked from the mortal world they lived in and doomed to an eternity in the cold, dark castle. Can I find a way to tame seven beasts and help them remember the men they used to be?Alexander, a politician who thought he would be president until he tried to burn the witch at the stake in the 1800s.Boone, a gunslinger from the Wild West who once hunted the James-Younger Gang. His mistake was killing the witch's beloved.Gill, a playboy gambler from the roaring twenties that caught the witch's eye, but he couldn't be true to her.Braden and Shane, twins that ran drugs in the eighties only run afoul of the witch when they thought they were finally going to escape their past.Randall, a chef who used to have his own reality show until is foul mouth and vibrant temper brought on the witch's wrath.And number seven? Well he's a legend, just like his sword, and we're all in his castle.Kelli's Note: This is a 50,000 word steamy standalone fairy tale with a HEA and no cheating! I'm a girl that likes wild and crazy romances, so that is exactly what you get from me. My heroes might be a little over-the-top with a touch of caveman and you'll get some angst along the way, but I promise that the good parts will give you a plenty of reasons to read this all by yourself!

I gave the world two middle fingers when I moved to the mountainsYeah, I've got skeletons in my closet, but who doesn't?I built a log cabin that has everything I needWinter is coming alright, but I'm readyThen I hear there's a woman lost in the snowstormWas it the same gorgeous blonde I saw earlier that day?If she's lost in Devil's Pass, nobody can save her but meShane:  I was well stocked for the snowstorm, ready to drink my way through it like I've done with so many before.  I sure didn't expect it to find a gorgeous virgin nearly frozen to death in her car.  I guess I'm going to have to find a way to warm her up.Heather:  My friends are really bad with directions and apparently my GPS doesn't work in the mountains.  I made one wrong turn and ended up trapped in a massive snowstorm.  Just when I thought it was all over, Shane found me.  He's a ridiculously hot bearded man who lives in a log cabin he built himself!  I don't think I'm going to be a virgin when this storm is over.

Chapter 1:  Brandy“Brandy!  Coor and I followed, locking up our apartment before walking at an accelerated pace to catch up with her.  She was already at the elevator when I got to her side.“I’m sorry…”  I sighed and looked down at the floor.“I told you not to fuck around on your computer all afternoon.  Now we’re going to be lucky if we make it before the ceremony starts!”  Samantha exhaled angrily and slammed her finger into the elevator button several times, despite the fact it was already lit up.“I know—I just got distracted.”  I could hear the elevator grinding to a stop at our floor and a second later the doors parted.“If you put half as much effort into your job as you put into balancing your pretend-life online, you’d be getting an award tonight alongside me.”  She stomped into the elevator and turned hit the button for the lobby.  “The first thing I do when they make me a manager is fire your lazy ass.”“Come on…”  I walked into the elevator behind her—she was joking, but it felt like I was bein
