Description

Princess Tanadelle of the Widdenmar has grown weary of courtly performance and longs for something far simpler: honest conversation, a life she can shape herself, and uninterrupted hours with books. When a routine visit to Little Pepperidge leaves her cursed to remain in a shabby bookshop until she uncovers what her heart truly wants, she reluctantly—then joyfully—settles into the stacks, trading state dinners for storytime and finding herself tangled with an irritatingly handsome pirate who may be more than a distraction. As her days among the shelves deepen, her neglected royal duties trigger a parade of princes, each convinced that their kiss will be the key to breaking the curse. Blending cozy romantic fantasy with themes of self-discovery, chosen family, and the healing power of stories, this charming tale invites readers to stay awhile and find out what “happily ever after” really means when it’s written from the inside out.
