She cooks. He broods. The cat has a halo and an agenda.
Jolie Gardener needs this job. Personal chef to reclusive artist Todd Best isn’t exactly her dream gig, but it pays the bills while she figures out her life — and her novel. Todd just wants to be left alone with his memories and his guilt. He’s not painting anymore. He’s not anything anymore.
Then Jolie shows up in his kitchen, talking too much, feeding him too well, and making him feel things he buried a long time ago.
He’s the beast who lost everything. She’s the beauty who won’t stop showing up with lunch.
And Jonathan — that impossibly smug little kitten with the glowing halo — seems entirely too pleased with how this is all going.
Beauty and The Best is a warm, witty, grumpy/sunshine romance about two people who needed saving and were too stubborn to ask — and one very scheming angel in disguise.

She lost her shoe. He’s on one knee. The little old man with the sparkling green eyes is suspiciously smug about it.
Bella Casteleoni doesn’t have time for Prince Charming. She’s got a wicked stepmother, a little sister to protect, and a catering business held together with borrowed time and sheer stubbornness. The last thing she needs is a distraction in the form of tall, dark, and devastatingly dimpled.
Reese Charmant doesn’t do entanglements. He does platinum convertibles, clean exit strategies, and definitely not kneeling on courthouse steps returning shoes to gorgeous blondes who look at him like he’s the last thing they need.
Neither of them planned this.
Jonathan did.
Because some fairy godmothers wear tweed.

She bought a ring for five bucks. She got a knight-in-shining-armor for free.
Master Griff is suspiciously unsurprised about both.
Kate Lawton has a corner office, an adoption in progress, and absolutely zero interest in magic. Alex Traverse has a stolen betrothal ring, a jousting tournament to win, and absolutely zero patience for the impossibly modern, impossibly infuriating woman who just appeared out of thin air.
She needs to get home. He needs her gone. They’re running out of reasons to want either of those things.
Sometimes the wrong century is exactly the right place to fall in love.
