Fairy tales were never meant to be this wicked, this swoony…or this fun.Locked in a tower for nearly seven years, Rapunzel Gray-Elle to her friends, if she still had any-has learned two things: never trust a sorcerer, and never fall for a pretty face. Otto stole her freedom, siphoned her magic, and left her one week away from a fate worse than death-becoming his bride or his prisoner forever. Elle refuses to surrender. She's determined to reclaim her power, her choices, and her future.Enter Caden Lomond, a wolf shifter carrying scars as deep as his exile. Bound by a life-debt he can't escape, he agrees to rescue Elle. But the fiery witch in the tower is no damsel in distress-she's clever, stubborn, and more dangerous than she realizes. And the more time he spends with her, the more his haunted heart begins to hope for something he swore he'd never deserve.Together, they must break Otto's curse before the new moon seals Elle's fate. Yet magic has a mind of its own, and passion may be the most perilous spell of all. Gail Chianese's love of reading began at the tender age of three, when she'd make her grandpa read Fourteen Country Rabbits over and over and over again (and correct him when he skipped parts). She's branched out over the years by reading mystery, women's fiction, urban fantasy, and her favorite. . . romance, because everyone deserves a HEA! That's probably because she's married to her real-life hero. Her wonderful hubby served in the US Navy for twenty-seven years and he's done things he can't tell her about. But it doesn't stop her from being extremely proud of him and the sacrifices he made for her, his family, and his country. He's also uber-supportive of her dreams and of their three children. Living in Mystic, CT, Gail loves to hear from readers. Visit her online at GailChianese.com, Facebook or send her an e-mail at gailchianese@gmail.com.
