One unexpected kiss . . .
Successful romance author Gaia Anders has a secret: anything she dreams at night is magically written into her bestselling novels. After a lonely childhood in foster care, her dream life is the only one she trusts. Gaia’s waking life just can’t compare—until she gets caught in one utterly surprising, crazy-passionate, real-life kiss . . .

One near-perfect guy . . .
Workaholic businessman Jacob Scott has had a crush on his brother’s best friend, Gaia, since forever—but he never expected to literally share her dreams. Living out their magical nighttime fantasies is explosive, but it’s their waking desire turning his single-minded ways upside down. It’s making him want a future he didn’t think was possible . . .

One dream that could come true . . .
But Gaia has secrets from her past she won't reveal. And Jacob's attempts to keep the peace in his own fractured family puts him up against her deepest fears. Soon, they’re facing hard truths about who they are and what they’re running from. And the only way to break this curse is realizing true love's real-life power . . .

Praise for And They Lived Happily Ever After

Praise for Therese Beharrie

"Therese Beharrie’s And They Lived Happily Ever After is a similarly fresh take on speculative romance: It follows a romance-writing heroine who lives out her narratives every night via dream. What happens when she writes a real-life man—her best friend’s little brother—into the love story? I highly recommend you read it and find out." USA Today bestselling author Talia Hibbert

"Beharrie expertly crafts their past wounds, plumbing how their worst fears and frustrations are pinged by each other in spite of their growing connection... a breezy summer getaway that goes down like a tropical cocktail--sweet and sugary." Entertainment Weekly on Island Fling with the Tycoon

"Certified Rising Star Therese Beharrie is making a strong showing of doing just that, writing South African characters with local expertise and sensitivity... Building that kind of depth in the swift, sleek category form is just--woof, I have no idea how Beharrie does it, but let's let her keep doing it as often as she wants." -Seattle Review of Books on One Last Chance
 
"Wow, this story hooks quickly and is an incredibly fast read while telling a story that is much more than a love story. It's elements of family dynamics, friendships as well as trust are well written and well developed. Ms. Beharrie does a wonderful job of combining elements to make a complete story." --Harlequin Junkie on Her Twin Baby Secret
 
One Day to Fall is a marvel and a feat of extraordinary accomplishment... Therese Beharrie is a stunningly talented writer... One Day to Fall is a delight and a marvel, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romance novel to escape into." --Smart Bitches, Trashy Books on One Day to Fall
