Once Upon a Time…
Welcome to 1001 Dark Nights… a collection of novellas that are breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic. Some are paranormal, some are contemporary. Each and every one is compelling and page turning.
Inspired by the exotic tales of The Arabian Nights, 1001 Dark Nights features New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling authors.
In the original, Scheherazade desperately attempts to entertain her husband, the King of Persia, with nightly stories so that he will postpone her execution.
In our versions, month after month, each of our fabulous authors puts a unique spin on the premise and creates a tale that a new Scheherazade tells long into the dark, dark night.
…Happily Ever After
Out Now!
Love Hazard

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! <3, 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.

An Exclusive Interview with Rachel Van Dyken
Can you tell us why or how you chose to write about this couple for your novella?
I love returning to older books and writing about the original couples kids. Travis, who was in The Bet over ten years ago now has a college graduate that he wants to keep safe, unfortunately she has her mom’s sass and a genuine hate for the guy across the street, it seemed like the perfect set up for this couple!
Do you do anything to treat yourself when you finish writing a book?
I think this time, my treat was to go sit and start writing another book, I promise it was actually a treat because I switched over to fantasy and that’s always fun.
