A Golden Hope

Can one find hope when they’ve only been used?

Feliz can spin straw into gold. When the king finds out about her gift, he imprisons her in a tower full of straw and demands that she spin it all for him in one night or perish by morning. All she wants is to escape his kingdom with her life and never be used again. But it will take a miracle to spin all the straw, or, perhaps, a very cunning faerie, who keeps asking for higher and higher prices.

Rumpel is the professional thief of the faerie royals. But stealing a treasure from a magic-hating king is going to be harder than he thought. He stumbles upon a peculiar young woman who just happens to have all the keys he needs to succeed. But he’s been tricked, and by the time Rumpel realizes what’s happened, it might be too late to go back for the beautiful gold-spinning girl.
