As their adventure becomes rife with peril and passion, Ash suspects he’s found his heart’s desire. Even though her dearest friend may be her self-proclaimed fairy godmother, Maura is mortified at being pushed into a romance with a notorious rake such as Ash. Dashing and charming, he comes to Maura’s rescue just in time to help her steal back her precious horse. As they flee across the countryside, she can’t resist his sweet seduction. But is her prince playing a role in a fairy tale to test an improbable theory, or is the love awakening in her heart proof of her own happily ever after?

Three divorced friends—and one killer—set out to sea in the New York Times–bestselling author’s hilarious and “unforgettable” cruise-ship murder mystery (Booklist). Three best friends are on a Caribbean cruise for their latest vacation together. But the trip could be their last—unless they sort out which of the passengers is Mr. Right and which is the hit man hired by one of their ex-husbands . . . Feisty, fast-talking PR executive Elaine Zimmerman needs some persuading by her pals Jackie and Pat to climb aboard the luxury liner—and once she does, her luggage is misplaced and she’s forced to resort to the ship boutique’s tacky version of cruisewear. But Elaine cheers up once she finds herself seated next to Sam Peck. This couldn’t be love at first sight (because she doesn’t believe in love at first sight), or even lust at first sight (because she’s the least lusty person on the planet), but whatever it is, she can’t resist it. She’s on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, and it wouldn’t kill her to fall in love . . . or would it? A glimmer of doubt becomes full-fledged suspicion when Elaine inadvertently learns that somebody’s ex-wife has been marked for murder—and the hired hit man is already on board. Now the ladies have to figure out whose ex is out to deep-six whom . . . From the author of Three Blonde Mice, Princess Charming is a fun-filled mystery and a buoyant tale of friendship and true love—even if the glass slipper is several sizes too small and the prince arrives about ten years late. “Sure to be a big hit with her faithful following.” —Kirkus Reviews

Not only does she need the unknown guest’s brawn, but she also hopes he’ll play along and act like her boyfriend for her ex, who is there with his new girlfriend.

After their chance meeting, he falls for the funny, passionate confectioner who loves him unconditionally, something no one has ever done—not even his parents. But their plans of settling down in a Massachusetts suburb come to a screeching halt when his older brother marries without permission from the king, making Hugh the next in line to the throne. Hugh has never had a good relationship with his father, but it gets even worse when he brings Rory to Asterlaine, and in an effort of goodwill, she hands out cupcakes with message charms to people at the palace gates, infuriating the king. Rory tries everything to please the monarch to no avail. The icing on the cupcake comes when he tries to pass a new law, stating Hugh can only marry someone with a royal lineage, and Hugh refuses to stand up to his father on her behalf. She leaves for home to heal the irreparable damage done to her heart. Months later, Rory is still avoiding his calls, while Hugh struggles to navigate royal life without her. With the future of Asterlaine resting on his shoulders, Hugh finally takes matters into his own hands and goes to Rory with an unconventional idea of how they can have their happily ever after — even if it means the end of the monarchy. Modern day fairy tale. Spicy. No cliffhanger.
