    About this ebook

    She plays in the meadow, the only place safe to cry about her mother's death. He finds her there, the wide-eyed boy, thrown by his horse, lost in the woods. 

    She guides him home, in the process finding the road out of her grief—and a friend. 

    But then she discovers his true identity. And everything changes. 

    A hopeful fairy tale retelling for people who still believe in the transformative power of love.

    Liana Brooks

    Liana Brooks once read the book GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and noted that both their biographies invited readers to send money (or banana daiquiris). That seems to have worked well for them. Liana prefers strawberry daiquiris (virgin!) and will never say no to large amounts of cash in unmarked bills. Her books are sweet and humorous with just enough edge to keep you reading past your bedtime. Liana was born in San Diego and in addition to there has lived in Illinois, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kansas. We'd like to tell you where she is right now, but last we checked she was researching books on both Alaska and Africa. Not only are the bookstore algorithms breaking trying to track this lady, but we can't tell you where to mail that daiquiri. Your best bet is to try Twitter where you can often find @LianaBrooks talking about her four kids, her giant dog, and plans for world domination.

      Courting The Winter Prince

      It wasn’t a storybook romance. not in the way people imagined.

      There was no fairy godmother. No magical mice. Nothing but a few dusty gowns hanging in the attic and stolen, midnight moments stitching a dream by candlelight. 

      I wasn’t sure if anyone would understand if I tried to explain why I needed to go to the ball. It wasn’t for the dress. It certainly wasn’t because I thought I should have a crown. 

      I did it for friendship... and love.

      Years ago, just after mother died, I ran deep into the woods, driven half by sorrow and half by despair.

I pictured my bones there, bleached by the sun and shrouded by the brown dress that was all that remained of my family’s fortune. Everything else had been sold to buy medicine for mother.
