Caught Bare (Stand Alone Tales, #16)

Sallen has been running from her heritage all her life. When her mother suddenly passes, she can't bring herself to part from the city where they made so many memories. She takes on a job as a courier and settles into a nice routine.
Abruptly taken from her apartment, she meets her father's side of the family, and she doesn't like what she sees. She's stripped of her defensive glamour, and her heritage is laid out for all to see. Descended from Rapunzel and the golden goose, her hair brings luck and wealth to any family she joins, but only if she gives it willingly. Her family has other plans. They are going to auction her off to the highest bidder. Desperate for help, she sends a message via the only means at her disposal, and she waits.
The master of the guild and his partners arrive and rescue her, but they offer her the same fate with a few alterations. She will choose, true love's kiss will bind her, and she will agree to honour the kiss. Yeah, that isn't going to happen.

Viola Grace (aka Zenina Masters) is a Canadian sci-fi/paranormal romance writer with ambitions to keep writing for the rest of her life. She specializes in short stories because the thrill of discovery, of all those firsts, is what keeps her writing.
An artist who enjoys a story that catches you up, whirls you around and sets you down with a smile on your face is all she endeavours to be. She prefers to leave the drama to those who are better suited to it, she always goes for the cheap laugh.
