An adult fairy tale twist on Jack and the Beanstalk. Wonderfully funny and wickedly naughty, it’s an all around enjoyable read.

Out of Joint

Rebecca Guthrie, a governess in the Wentworth house, is in love with Bennett Wentworth, brother to her young charge. Unfortunately, she does not realize the family harbours a secret well beyond the scope of her imaginings.

It takes a past and future tangle in time to uncover their secret passions, and finally bring Rebecca and Bennett together. The same glitch in time, however, threatens to tear them asunder.

Damien Chassange, carefree, unconventional, and Packless, is the perfect partner in her foray to self-indulgence.

If only he wasn’t her mate....

I wish I had known that this had a companion story ("Out of Joint"), sin
