A Once Upon A Rhyme Novella
Mary Lane remembers nothing of her childhood after being found by her adoptive parents, but she’s perfectly content with the life she stumbled into. Every day, she works in her family’s beloved bakery, selling muffins, scones, pound cakes, and, of course, illegal magic stones…
Selling unrefined magic stones is a risky business when you’re not connected to the inner circles of the black market, but the Lane’s Bakery has never had trouble going unnoticed. Their only problem is being too good at going unnoticed, leaving them struggling to maintain the little business they have left. Determined to protect her family’s livelihood, Mary realizes there’s one way to put their bakery business back on the map: connect it to the black market.
The crime lords running the elusive black market could easily support their business and protect them from outside investigation, but how does one sell themselves to an invisible buyer? As Mary hunts for a crack in their walls, a former, distractingly handsome customer makes a reappearance to offer his assistance. Mary would have been thrilled to have her past crush offer his aid, except she’s rather certain he has ulterior motives… Though he is pretty cute.
Will Mary be able to salvage their muffin scam? Or will this handsome new helper get her burned?

However, her aspirations are threatened when her parents scheme to barter her off to a neighboring lord.

Catherine Whitmer lives by her mother’s two cardinal rules: never speak to strangers and never leave the tower garden. The unspoken third rule? Never ask questions—or face bed without supper, or worse, tighter restrictions designed to protect her from the cruel world.
But when the charming and kind Lord Henry Stanton happens upon her in the garden one day, suddenly obedience looks much less appealing. His friendship awakens a long-suppressed craving for freedom and truth. He opens new realms of possibility, but the closer Catherine gets to freedom and the knowledge of her past, the more paranoid and controlling her mother gets, desperate to protect her own secrets.
To learn the truth about her birth family and find her happy ever after, Catherine will have to break all the rules and stand up to her mother, who will do everything she can to stop her.
Enjoy this YA retelling of “Rapunzel,” set in a Regency England where Faeries are real and magic is an acceptable accomplishment for young ladies.

Can he teach her to defend herself against those who threaten her life?
Lady Roslyn just wants to go home, but home is where her political rivals want her dead.
Sent away for her own protection, she’s spent four years keeping her head down and longing for the day it will be safe to return.

When Roslyn is called back home, John has to let her go. Yet his worry remains. Are her parents right in thinking the threat is passed, or will she be walking into danger?
A story about overcoming prejudice and choosing love, this deeply romantic Sleeping Beauty retelling highlights the joy of finding someone you can rely on and choosing them above all else.
