WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

Forced to partner with her work nemesis, Detective April Harper quickly discovers that resisting the charming and notorious Ryan Cooper may be her toughest assignment yet. *** Los Angeles detective April Harper has spent years carving out her place on the force. Fueled by a drive to prove herself, she's let nothing stand in her way. Until Ryan Cooper.

Cooper thinks April is too rigid and controlling. Every heated argument, every battle for dominance only fuels the tension crackling between them - but is it really all hate?

With the case and her heart on the line, how far will she go to protect them both? *** His lips graze my shoulder. "We should just keep going on about our days like we're not this attracted to each other, huh?" My heart is my throat. If I were strong, I'd put some distance between us.
