Hunter always found his stepsister, Gemma, annoying, but when his father abandoned her in the Endless Forest, Hunter went after her. Lost in the woods, they came upon a witch and her two sons. And in that moment, their lives changed forever.

Fifteen years after escaping the witch, Hunter and Gemma reunite. But Gemma is no longer the annoying little stepsister Hunter remembers. And although the witch is dead, her sons are very much alive. One lives at the gates of the underworld, terror in the flesh. The other offers Gemma a quest she cannot refuse-to find the stones of the cursed witches. Stones with unrivaled power. In the hands of one son, the world will kneel; in the hands of the other, the curse will lift.

Hunter knows neither option is worth the reward, but for Gemma, one is.

Secrets and betrayal layer the path Gemma and Hunter must travel to find the five stones. As their lives and desires intersect with the two men who haunt their past and hold the key to their future, they will discover their story is only just beginning.

Of Candy and Betrayal is a spicy dark Hansel and Gretel retelling. T/W can be found in the front of the book and on my website.
