Fairy tales are real. 
 
Rose Briar is a diabetic college student without insurance. She’s been scraping by through a combination of maxing out credit cards and relying upon the kindness of strangers.
 
Unfortunately, she’s spent every dollar at her disposal. There’s no money left to buy her life-saving insulin.
 
Without her medication, Rose falls into a diabetic coma. She tumbles into a deep slumber and wakes up in a fantastical place called the Dream Realm, where fairy tales and legends of old are still very much alive.
 
She has one chance to wake up.
 
She must trek across the world, visit the most powerful object in the land, the Obsidian Spindle, and entreat with the fates; the only beings powerful enough to send her soul back to Earth.
 
But evil forces don’t want her to leave. They will stop at nothing to capture her and make sure she never goes home again.
 
Now, with the help of her half-gorgon girlfriend and a mysterious red rider, Rose must race across the land fighting dragons, monsters, and the forces of the Wicked Witch, Nimue, in order to reach the Obsidian Spindle before her body dies on Earth and she’s trapped in the Dream Realm forever.

Head Over Stilettos

Liwen Y. Ho

All this plumber wants is a crack at romance.
Meet Josie:
My friend was supposed to refer me to a plumber. Instead, she sends a Hugh Jackman lookalike to my bridal boutique. Leather jacket, snug jeans, and a motorcycle—what a sight! It's almost enough to make me forget about my nearly-doomed grand opening. Especially when I realize that Graham, my childhood crush, is the one standing before me.
Enter Graham:
Yes, it's true that Josie once proposed marriage to me when she was just twelve. But thirty years have passed, and we're both grown-ups now. She's single, stunning, and definitely not the type to fall for a plumber. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to change her mind.
More from Josie:
The last thing my delicate heart needs right now is a blast from the past that leaves me flustered and blushing. Who would've thought that Graham still remembers my childhood proposal? Even crazier? He says that if I asked him to marry me today, he'd say yes!
Back to Graham:
Wooing clients isn't usually part of my services, but when it comes to Josie, love might not be just a pipe dream after all. Yet proving to her that I'm the real deal is shaping up to be the most challenging job of all. Especially if I can't fix her leaky toilet in time!
Welcome to The Fab Forties series, written by an over-40 author with readers of all ages in mind. This romantic comedy is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and whisk you away from reality. So, kick back, relax, and be prepared for a bellyful of laughs!

Emperor of the Borderlands #1

Alex Toxic, Eugene Astakhov

"Honor is the true measure of a man." On this principle I built a powerful empire, united disparate lands, and destroyed the greatest threat to our world. I died as a true warrior should: in battle. But instead of being granted a well-earned rest, I awoke on the border of a foreign kingdom, in the body of a noble-born outcast—with a noose around my neck.Never mind if all that remains of my former greatness is a memory. Give me any backwater farm and I will turn it into a formidable stronghold! Give me any scruffy band of scoundrels and they will become the backbone of my new army! My experience, my knowledge, and my memories remain with me.Still, time is pressing. In the forests of this world, I encounter old foes: the same creatures that once nearly destroyed my kingdom. They have infiltrated even here. And only I, who know their nature, can stop them before it is too late. A new empire must rise, or this world will fall.
