Join bestselling authors Tori Carrington and Kate Hoffmann as they journey to the naughty land of Once Upon a Bedtime…

Maid for Him by Tori Carrington

A mermaid asleep on the deck of his boat?

Kieran Morrison is sure it's a dream. Daphne Moore knows differently. She is a mermaid…and her crush on Kieran means she's playing with fire. Falling for a human (even a superhot one) is a bad, bad idea. But when a chance encounter with Kieran—on land—leads to a sizzling and wickedly satisfying night, Daphne finds herself torn between her sea life…and her suddenly oh-so-hot sex life!

Off the Beaten Path by Kate Hoffmann

When her best friend Alex Hansen invites her to a remote retreat, Greta Adler is delighted. But when the owner, an attractive and aggressive older woman, makes her move on Alex, they find themselves posing as lovers. It all goes off without a hitch…until the friends find themselves alone in a bedroom with the sweet, delicious taste of sin on their lips. But will a sizzling late-night encounter burn their friendship to a crisp?
