Publisher's Synopsis
Bubbles and Troubles Prescott Woods is in trouble! A belly dancing lawyer, a stray cat of highly questionable origin, and a particularly malodorous gnome come to the rescue. Carmen loves living in Charade, Kentucky. The quirky Appalachian village is everything that Chicago wasn't. Populated by modern day New Agers, Charade is like Mayberry with tie-dyed shirts, organic food, and incense thrown in for flavour. When Calvin Prescott makes plans to sell his land to a high-end property developer, Carmen fears that the town she calls home will be changed forever. A new neighbourhood of multi-million dollar mansions would spell disaster for Charade's simple, small town charm. Brock and his family moved to Prescott Woods over two hundred years ago. Like the other magical beings of the woods, they are immortal and imbued with special powers. Destruction of Prescott Woods would mean more than a change of pace for Brock and his kind-it would mean death. Brock can take on the appearance of anything-including animals of all sizes and shapes-in order to get closer to Carmen and save his home. As Carmen learns more of the secrets of Prescott Woods, she finds that Brock is irresistibly strokeable, regardless of his appearance. She also uncovers danger, family drama, and the most luxuriant subterranean spa she can imagine. Beds and Blazes There's passion smouldering at the bed and breakfast in Charade, but what will it take to fan the flames? Dora Fontaine, the proprietress of Charade's only B&B, enjoys sharing her ultra-feminine home with guests. From the red Blaze roses in her garden to the frilly lace curtains and antique tea service in her kitchen, Bohemian Rhapsody is a girly-girl's dream come true. She's not immune to masculine charms, though, especially when a burly, bearded, wild man from the woods comes calling. Lowell, oldest son of the Rossi clan, crashes into her life like a bull in a china shop. He's admired Dora from afar, but gets tongue-tied around the curvaceous beauty. Sparks are flying and romance is in the air, but someone from Prescott Woods seems determined to douse the fire. As one of the Fair Folk, Lowell has access to the magic of Prescott Woods. He longs to share it with Dora, but she's got to agree to leave all that she's known before he can reveal the secrets of the woods. If he can control his temper and bend the rules just a bit, he just might create a love that will burn for a lifetime...
