The children of Greenbell grow up hearing tales of a witch who lives within the Whispering Woods. Fantastical stories are woven of the witch who lives in a house made of sweets and lures naughty children to their demise. Of course, no one has ever seen the witch and lived to tell about it, so the forest is left relatively untouched.

That is, until Hans and Gerrit begin their journey.
Despite the rumors they have heard, Hans and his stepbrother, Gerrit, have no choice but to travel through the woods and seek the witch out when their father falls suspiciously ill.
But the woods keep their secrets, and the biggest one is about to be exposed.
When the brothers stumble upon a broken Briar, living alone and starving in a prison made just for her, they begin questioning all the tales they’ve been told and wonder who would benefit from the vicious lies about the gentle witch they meet.
To help Hans and Gerrit, Briar has to find a way to escape her prison and the mysterious Banisher who put her there. Time is running out, and outside forces are working against the three, but Briar is more determined than ever to snatch her freedom. She’s done living on just crumbs, and maybe, with the help of two brothers who have suddenly worked their way into her heart, there is hope for her yet.

This grown-up Hansel and Gretel retelling is short, spicy and sweet, with a whole lot of heart. Just Crumbs is an MFM menage, where the FMC does not choose between her love interests.
