Book Description
Up-and-coming rock star Briar Rose sings songs of love inspired by fairy tales, though she doesn't waste time believing in them. Scared and tired of being alone, she has seen first hand that happily ever afters don't exist. In fact, they always end in divorce. All she needs to make her life complete is to get her own tour, and the only thing that may hinder that are the threatening letters she has been receiving. With a career as a bodyguard, and drowning in debt, no-nonsense twenty-nine-year-old Holly Prince has never faced a challenge or temptation she couldn't handle--especially when it comes to clients. As for love, she has gone down that road before and will not allow herself to go down that road again. When an unusually high offer comes in to protect the daughter of a famous rock star, Holly jumps at the chance, knowing that it will be what she needs to get her life back on track. When the rigid bodyguard and the rock star beauty meet, tempers are as hot as the instant attraction. But as the two begin to open up, they find that they might just have more in common that they first thought. In order for this modern day Sleeping Beauty and her Dashing Princess to get the storybook ending they both deserve, they will have to find the fairytale magic that exists not in book or song, but much closer than they ever imagined.

When faced initially with the hostility of the art world, the primary Pre-Raphaelite artists Rossetti, Millais and Holman Hunt used the populist medium of the print as a means of gaining mass appeal for their paintings, and of spreading the Pre-Raphaelite message to a wider audience.

Book Description
These two novellas by the groundbreaking, fearless, and immeasurably influential Robert Coover are dirty, funny and brilliant. In Briar Rose a sleeping beauty is trapped in an enchantment for a hundred years, dreaming of stories in which someone like her wakes up disappointed, or becomes a mother, or is stripped and defiled. And, as she dreams, outside, failed princes die and hang their remains on the thorns of a briar hedge. In Spanking the Maid a maid and her master are each committed to their own hard service: she, attempting to perform her simple duties without error; he, supplying punishment by rod, belt, hairbrush, whip, cane and slipper when she inevitably fails. These tales of desire are Coover at his most darkly playful.

Book Description
The newly crowned King Arthur has yet to win the support of the people. Merlin must do something before the king is betrayed, or murdered, or--worst of all--gets married. So Merlin creates a trick: a sword magically placed into a slab of rock that only Arthur can withdraw. Then he lets it be known that whosoever removes the blade will rule all of England, and invites any man who would dare, to try to pull out the sword. But then someone else pulls the sword out first. . . .
