Please help me find a couple old books!
1. The first book is about a girl who grew up in a whorehouse but remained innocent and the owner wanted to put her to work once old enough. But allowed her to be hired as a tutor. This was her chance to escape that life. But the 'child' she was hired for was actually an adult who thought she was a prostitute there to teach him how to be a man. He decided to show her he knew everything he needed to. Once she escaped the situation she hurried back to her old home but discovered that she couldn't slip back into the place she once held. Now they want her to be a whore and since she wasn't innocent anymore... The man realizes his mistake and goes after her - ends up hiring her as his mistress. I can remember a few smutty scenes with role playing and thats about it. I think its from the 90's but I couldn't say who the publisher is or anything else needed to identify other than plot. Help greatly appreciated!
2. This was a slightly weird book where there is a fairy race (not sure if fairies) that go around skyclad and are very tiny and one of them is put under a spell or something that lets her be big and cavort around with the owner of the land they live on. I think they meet because she is suddenly real sized and he thinks he ran over her with his horse. She has long curly hair and has a sister - for some reason I want to say they are named for jewels or cry diamonds...? I know the two sisters are royalty and the younger brother of the hero ends up with the little sister of the heroine at the end and they rule the fairy kingdom together while the older ones remain in the human area as Duchess etc. This is a really funny book because of the differences in cultures between the main characters - mostly the lack of modesty and plain speaking.
I'm always thinking back to enjoying these books but have had no luck finding them. I would appreciate any ideas on what the titles or authors could be.
Thanks!

You might have more luck with getting the second book identified if you put it in a separate post with a descriptive title.
I'm afraid I don't recognise either of them.

Thanks Isabelx Someone already told me to try to google the diamond tears and it came right up. I couldn't believe it! But I still can't find the first book. I can remember him convincing her to play naughty schoolgirl.

So what was it?

I'm pretty sure the second one is A Basket of Wishes by Rebecca Paisley (the touchstone won't give me the correct work, and I don't know how to hand-code them - sorry!
(from Amazon: "This delightful adult fairy tale takes place in the Faerie kingdom of Pillywiggin where a betrothal between the Faerie and a human called Trinity is about to be consummated. The Faerie, already of fragile ancestry, have weakened over the years. Now, to save her race from extinction, Princess Splendor must mate with Jourdian Amberville, the 12th duke of Heathcourte. Splendor has three months in which to conceive a child with Jourdian and return to Pillywiggin. Her time among the humans is not without its problems: Jourdian refuses to allow her to go about au naturel; the pet she calls "Delicious" is a shape-shifting thing that scares everyone in sight; and Splendor's fiery sister Harmony is the epitome of jealous mischief. But the most serious problem between Splendor and Jourdian is love (or rather, the lack of it), an emotion neither is capable of feeling. Paisley's latest offering (after Heartstrings) is perhaps best read alone so one doesn't have to explain having a laugh or even a bit of a cry over a fairy tale. It's a charmer loaded with imagination and sprinkled with modest bits of wisdom. " )

Touchstone fairy: Basket of Wishes.
Rebecca Paisley was a pseudonym for Rebecca Boado Rosas. (If you squint at the work cover, you can see the author name printed on it is 'Paisley'.)

A Basket of Wishes by Rebecca Paisley - Its a funny book and I'm looking forward to it arriving in the mail. Do you have any idea on what the first book is? I'm trying to remember more but I'm just not having any luck with google searches.
