Lady Isabella Gareth is having the worst day of her life - so far. Her fiancé (the Prince of Reinburn) made a drunken spectacle of himself, when he announces at a high-society gathering that he'd much rather marry another woman. Fleeing the disastrous party, she wrecks her Jaguar. Arriving on the scene is one of the many witnesses to her humiliation: Luke Dawson, the other woman's cocky, too-handsome-for-his-own-good brother. And he has the nerve to offer his help. Isabella's already brushing him off when a nasty hag sends them both into a bramble bush in an alternate world, with orders to bring back a gold apple - or die. Another delightful fantasy adventure from Liz Michaels, The Gold Apple continues her tradition of whimsical wisdom as our heroes journey onward and inward, this time through magical realms where they grapple with unhappiness, fear, and death toward joy, fulfillment, and love.
