Do you love fairy tales? Then don't miss these happily ever afters!

In this modern retelling of a fairy tale classic, former beauty queen Jolee Mercier finds herself in big trouble, locked in the trunk of her husbandâ€™s BMW on her way to a remote location in the woods of northern Michigan where sheâ€™s going to be killed.

Her crime? Knowing too much. An anonymous letter arrived addressed in her name with proof that her husband, Carlos, a state logging and mining mogul, had been the one responsible for her fatherâ€™s death years earlier, killed for supporting the unions at a local logging camp.

When a terrible accident ends her husbandâ€™s plan to kill her, Jolee wakes up alone in a cabin in the middle of the woods, rescued by a masked man they call â€œthe beast,â€ with a husband who wants her dead, and miles of state forest between her and civilization.

EXCERPT:

Jolee could never stay out of trouble for long and being locked in the trunk of Carlosâ€™s black BMW was no exception to that particular rule of her life. Sheâ€™d given up trying to kick the side of the car to make noiseâ€”luxury car makers practically sound-proofed their trunks. Who knew? She wondered if engineers considered scenarios like this oneâ€”after all, any rich husband might have to enlist his hit men tie up and toss his troublesome wife into the trunk for easy disposal, right?

Besides, her feet were secured with zip ties, as were her hands, which stretched painfully behind her back. They didnâ€™t use duct tapeâ€”too easy to wiggle out ofâ€”except for the pieces over her mouth. And even those werenâ€™t just slapped onâ€”theyâ€™d used the roll to wrap the silver stuff around and around her mouth and jaw in layers. Carlosâ€™s guys knew exactly what they were doing. Of course they did. It was their job.

There was just no way out of this bit of trouble. That realization finally hit her in the darkness, the carâ€™s wheels crunching gravel a long time now, off the highway, she surmised, the suspension bouncing her violently up and down. This was going to be the last batch of trouble she ever got herself into in the whole expanse of a life that seemed suddenly very short.

Sheâ€™d been so focused on escaping or finding a way out since Carlosâ€™s goons had grabbed her out backâ€”zip-tied and duct taped before she could even raise the snow shovel sheâ€™d been usingâ€”that this final realization hit with such terrifying force Jolee actually wet herself, urine staining the crotch of her jeans with spreading navy blue darkness.

She was going to die.
