Between never knowing my father, a secretive mother, a know-it-all sister, and my habit of falling in love on a regular basis, my life had all the drama I needed. Now it has become even more complicated; I'm coping with the loss of my sister and her husband. And although I've inherited Alex, their darling eight-month-old son, he comes with some nasty baggage: his snobby uncle Gregory, who's determined to get custody of the nephew we share. Moving Alex back into his family's castle might placate Gregory, but it only adds to the drama: his haughty mother and detestable fianc e just want me gone. If that wasn't enough trouble, I'm saddled with a guardian fairy ... Granting wishes? If only. She seems to spend most of her time critiquing my admittedly clumsy attempts at self-improvement with all the subtlety of an obnoxious teen.

Lady Isabella Gareth is having the worst day of her life - so far. Her fianc (the Prince of Reinburn) made a drunken spectacle of himself, when he announces at a high-society gathering that he'd much rather marry another woman. Fleeing the disastrous party, she wrecks her Jaguar. Arriving on the scene is one of the many witnesses to her humiliation: Luke Dawson, the other woman's cocky, too-handsome-for-his-own-good brother. And he has the nerve to offer his help. Isabella's already brushing him off when a nasty hag sends them both into a bramble bush in an alternate world, with orders to bring back a gold apple - or die. Another delightful fantasy adventure from Liz Michaels, The Gold Apple continues her tradition of whimsical wisdom as our heroes journey onward and inward, this time through magical realms where they grapple with unhappiness, fear, and death toward joy, fulfillment, and love.
