In the world of fairy tales, being wicked has never felt so good... Bargain with the Beast Desperate to keep her neighborhood community center open, Gwendolyn Sinclair seeks out Xavier St. James, her childhood friend...and brother of her dead fianc . Xavier possesses the funds necessary to keep the center open, but he offers another bargain-a devil's bargain: submit her body to his pleasure for seven days and the building doesn't close its doors. Left scarred from an accident, Xavier is bitter, resentful and alone. When Gwendolyn reappears in his life, need and loneliness overrides conscience and he proposes an arrangement she can't afford to refuse. With the woman he has always wanted-but could never have-finally in his bed, he hungers for more. Her heart. But could she come to love a beast? A Perfect Fit For no-nonsense, less-than-warm Rowyn Jeong, being labeled the plainer, wicked stepsister has never bothered her...until Darius Fiore reappears in her life. Months ago, they indulged in a hot one-night stand, and the sexy business tycoon branded her like no man had before. But his return threatens her position within her stepfather's company, and he's the man her stepsister Cindy has within her sights-and hands. Behind closed doors, Daruis discovered more lay beneath Rowyn's hard exterior than the ice queen she presents to her family. Now, he understands the aloof reserve. Her family's disregard has left her hungry for love and acceptance. But breaking down her walls will be no easy task. Especially since his presence threatens everything she's worked so hard to achieve. Beware. These aren't your mother's bedtime stories...
Author Biography
USA Today Bestselling author Naima Simone's love of romance was first stirred by Johanna Lindsey, Sandra Brown and Linda Howard many years ago. Well not that many. She is only eighteen...ish. Though her first attempt at a romance novel starring Ralph Tresvant from New Edition never saw the light of day, her love of romance, reading and writing has endured. Published since 2009, she spends her days-and nights- writing sizzling romances with a touch of humor and snark. She is wife to Superman, or his non-Kryptonian, less bullet proof equivalent, and mother to the most awesome kids ever. They all live in perfect, sometimes domestically-challenged bliss in the southern United States.
