Nora Barr's struggling law practice gets a boost when she meets a tall, dark, handsome stranger with a snake wrapped around his arm and his short sidekick with a mean mouth. The stranger claims to have custody of Sleeping Beauty, and he needs Nora's help to protect her. Nora takes the case—against her better judgment—and her life changes forever. The inspiration for Rusch's novel, Utterly Charming, written under her pen name Kristine Grayson, this fractured fairy tale won France's prestigious fantasy award, Le Prix Imaginales. "…a clever urban fantasy filled with wizards and magic." —John Ottinger Sacramento Book Review
