Book Description

In the Faerie kingdom of Pillywiggin the betrothal between a Faerie and a human is happening. Princess Splendor of the Faerie will marry human Jourdian Amberville, the 12th duke of Heathcourte, conceive a child, and return home. This will allow her to strengthen the weakening faerie gene pool. Plans don't go according to Splendor's wishes: Jourdian is not fond of her desire to walk around naked, her shape-shifting pet terrifies people, and her sister is jealous.

But the biggest problem of all is that neither Splendor nor Jourdian is capable of feeling love.

A few readers have compared the basic story to Jill Barnett's Bewitching, noting that Rebecca Paisley's humor makes Basket Of Wishes unique.
