Emmy Dean
Emmy Dean is a corporate accounting runaway living with her husband, two children, and cats in New England. While she still gets thirsty for sassy spreadsheets, these days she prefers writing about couples spreading the sheets. She and her economist husband delight in being exactly as boring as you would expect them to be. They laugh constantly, but hide it well. Emmy loves Star Trek, quokkas, and cinnamon rolls. She enjoys writing humor-filled stories of healing and romance. She wants her readers to laugh more than they cry, and close her books feeling that their worth is limitless and undefinable. Emmy is represented by Eric Smith of Neighborhood Literary.
A Southern-Fried Deal with the Fae
A frustrated cashier enter the fae marriage auction for a chance of riches, but gets more than she bargained for when she's paired with the kingdom's naughtiest bachelor and sent on a quest for the king.
Southern cashier Vivian Graves may be a blonde bombshell but her life’s a dud. She’s not asking for tuxedo cake on a Moon Pie budget; she just wants an honest chance, a little respect, and a chocolate bundt. Prudishly labeled the town tramp, she’d love to tell her pervy boss to kiss her biscuits. But she has bills, and her family’s bills, and their bills’ bills. When fae marriage-auction recruiters arrive she’ll leap to escape her insular town, toilet duty, and seize a real future for the Graves family—despite the auction’s murky selection process.
She hopes to nab an ultra-wealthy common fae, a docile guy who’ll treat her better than his pickup truck. Instead the Ercadian king shocks the realm, shackling her to Ercadia’s naughtiest bachelor—his son Prince Solan Fiers. She may have traded toilet duty and blood-sucking mosquitos for wealth and dragons, but her new husband believes monogamy is a terminal disease and the king has a secret agenda. Vivian and Solan plot to become filthy rich while dissolving their union, but first they must traverse the perilous Ercadian wild lands on a dubious quest for the sly king.
As they fight swamp monsters and serpents, brave dragons and a goddess, Vivian discovers just how far she’ll go to buy a bit of respect. While the heat between Solan and Vivian flares hotter than dragon fire, she may find that self-respect and love are two things which cannot be bought. One thing is certain, she’ll need all her wits and sweet-tea charm to survive.
