The Pixie & The Jolly GreenA unique adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk
Jackie Greenbriar has spent her whole life taking care of everyone else—siblings, customers, stray animals, you name it. Growing things is what she does best: plants, people, and the occasional stubborn man who insists he doesn’t need help.
Thatcher Ridge is a walking redwood tree with the attitude to match. Big, broody, and absolutely convinced he can handle everything alone… until a fall off a tractor proves otherwise. And until the tiny, determined woman next door refuses to let him push her away.
One injured giant. One caretaker who won’t back down. One unexpected connection that grows roots fast.
As Jackie meets him challenge for challenge, glare for glare, Thatcher realizes two things: he does need help—and he needs her most of all.
A warm, heartfelt this unique Jack and the Beanstalk adaptation about a grumpy man, a sunshine‑bright girl, and the love that grows between them. Modern. Non‑magical. Full of heart. Interconnected standalones. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.

Ember Sage
Ember Sage writes the kind of stories that start with a “what if” and end with a cinnamon roll and thirty-minute goodbyes. A lifelong reader and behind-the-scenes book world enthusiast, she never planned to write a novel, until one too many “can you imagine if…” conversations spiraled into a full-blown fictional universe. What began as a joke about Hallmark-level chaos turned into four books, a cozy-chaotic imprint, and a cast of characters who refused to stay quiet.
Now, Ember crafts romance with cinnamon heat, found family, and the kind of Midwest messiness that feels like home. Her stories flirt first, feel deeply, and never apologize for the smut.
