A spin off... From THE BET The amount of joy I have for this, like you don''t even know. I''m actually freaking out, so here you go! u003c3, RVD When hate leads to love next door… My dad is protective. Scratch that. He’s like the person who would grab a chair, place it on the lawn, and watch me walk across the street just to deliver an apple. So, when a bet between the rude, good-looking guy across the way becomes a full-on battle, it turns into absolute chaos. He says my degree is useless and that I’m a rich, spoiled princess. I say he’s an idiot who only knows how to fix motorcycles and is incapable of having a clean-shaven face. He gives me a tiara. Thanks. I buy him a razor. Perfect. He follows that up with a book… Like. I. Can’t. Read. I then give him soap—explanation easy there. The following day, I receive a pink princess blanket that I may or may not have burned and tossed on his front doorstep, not realizing his dad is a cop. Now, both dads want the war to stop between us, forcing us to go on a camping trip to bury the hatchet—which I’m convinced he actually brought. He’s a hazard to my health. But it’s only a weekend. I honestly don’t know if we’ll make it out alive, but the dads are tired of it all. Regardless, I’ll come out, and prove I''m not the princess he thinks I am. Maybe he’ll end up lost in the woods—one can only hope. One thing’s for sure. I will never, ever fall for him. Ever. A bet with the boy next door? Challenge accepted. I’ll be waiting for my trophy at the finish line. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world.

The first time I met Fitz or to most of the world Duke Fitzegerald Heraldo Belleville, I punched him in the throat. I was actually aiming for his chin, but he was a few years older, clearly not wiser, but at least taller. He started wheezing on his candy cane. And well, the rest is history. Hate replaced what could have been friendship, and for the rest of my teen years, I watched him flirt with every single breathing female. I hated him. Plotted his death with a smile on my face. And knew that my first decree as Queen would be to chop off his head. Except now that I''m finally old enough to inherit the title, there''s one tiny little slip-up. I need a man by my side. The problem? I may have accidentally scared them all away. I have no options. Until the devil rings my doorbell with a wicked grin on his face and revenge dancing like sugarplums in his gaze. I hate that I need him. It''s a serious problem. We have twelve days before we say I do. I just pray we survive without killing each other first.
