But could he help her if she told him her secret? ***** Two years ago, Princess Adelaide was forced into hiding after her father, King William IV, was killed in a carriage accident that also took the life of her mother and brother. She suspects that the despicable man now on the throne of England--her uncle, Ernest--is responsible for her family's death, so she avoids his watchful eye by working as a maid for the aristocratic families of London. However, when she's employed by the dashing Duke of Kingfield, she soon discovers that he not only believes that the princess is alive, but also that she could be the key to saving England.

"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers." Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever. DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)

When I finally grow bold enough to break free of my chains, I stumble right into the most unlikely of places--the lands of my apparent fated, and he's got danger written all over him. He's unfairly attractive, possessive, and dominant in ways I find confusingly alluring, and also...gentle. The more I try to ignore our bond, the more I seem to fall into his gravity. But his pack wants nothing to do with me, and solidifying our mating bond will destroy a magic in me that is key to finding my family. It's only made worse when an old, awakening magic whispers to help me...but only if I leave my fated. Who in the hell can I trust in a world I barely know, especially with people I just met? All I wanted was a simple life in the woods, not this chaotic mess of carnal desires, obligations, and choices so hard to make that I am sure it will damn near kill me. .... 🥈2ND PLACE Boba Awards - Werewolf
