Penny Gothic: a romance of fictitious proportions In For a Penny Book 1 $3.99 Gypsy magic gone awry. A dubious family legacy.

With only clues from a stack of letters left by her great grandmothers, Penny must find her destined true love… in a book. Penny needs to convince her hero he's not an actual book character, while avoiding the book's determined villain. But convincing her knight in shining armor might not be enough to make a happily ever after. She also must decide if she's ready to fall in line with the family legacy, or go with the equally tempting (and totally non fictional) guy next door, and forget the man fated to be hers.
