Abel &amp; Cole’s story starts in 1988 with Keith Abel flogging potatoes door-to-door. ‘Of course potatoes are organic,’ he thought, ‘they’re vegetables’. However, he quickly discovered how unnecessarily complicated our food system had become and, consequently, realised the huge benefits of going organic and never looked back. In fact, Abel &amp; Cole still get veg from the farm where Keith's first organic spuds came from. 
To this day, their priorities remain the same. Now, selling 100% organic produce, Abel &amp; Cole believe that organic farming (a holistic system that encourages biodiversity) is the very best way to go. It protects our countryside and the critters that inhabit it, insists on the very best animal welfare, supports your local community and, frankly, tastes heaps better. Abel &amp; Cole think so anyway.

As a bloodline vampire, Lizzie has never had a problem taking what she wants, and right now what she wants are the family heirlooms that were stolen from her, a ship, and a portal home. Unfortunately, even that short list is impossible to accomplish on her own&mdash;and her allies have bigger things to worry about. When they rescue a selkie, it&rsquo;s the perfect solution to her problem. Lizzie needs a guide through Threshold and the selkie needs her skin back. 
 
Maeve didn&rsquo;t choose to give up her skin&mdash;it was stolen from her. Now she&rsquo;s in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. It&rsquo;s terrifying&hellip;and a bit alluring. Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can&rsquo;t help being drawn to Lizzie. 
 
Unfortunately, the danger to Maeve&rsquo;s heart is the least of her worries. The ship they&rsquo;re seeking belongs to the Cwn Annwn, and they don&rsquo;t take kindly to people who cross them. They&rsquo;re coming hunting, and not even Lizzie&rsquo;s viciousness or Maeve&rsquo;s knowledge will be enough to save them&hellip;

Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat…er, out-of-evil-office. 
 
But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs – Kingsley’s included – point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies ... including their nemesis, the king. 
 
Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie. 
It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so…so…delightfully fun. 
 
But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

Happily Ever After is a total scam, but at least this time the princess is the one in control - until her true love arrives and threatens to ruin the whole scheme. 
 
'A dazzlingly magical, thrilling, and inventive take on a beloved classic.' Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Payback's a Witch 
 
I'm not who you think I am. 
 
My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchantingly mysterious lady who snagged the heart of the prince did not happen - as the rumours insist - in a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. 
 
Instead, with the help of a touchingly tragic past and the some highly illegal spells, my stepsisters and I infiltrated the ball and captured the attention of the prince. I became a princess, secured our fortunes, and ensured we'd all live happily ever after. 
 
But of course, there's always more to the story. Now my magic is running out, war is looming, and a handsome hostage prince - the wrong prince - is distracting me with his magnetic charm and forbidden flirtations. I'm in danger of losing control of the delicate balance I've created . . . and that could prove fatal. 
 
There's so much more riding on this than a crown.
