Tales Retold Series

A spare princess. A shipwrecked prince. A secret love… and a deadly spell.   Linnea is used to being overlooked–and resigned to taking religious vows instead of making a brilliant marriage like her beautiful older sister. But everything changes when she discovers a half-drowned prince on the shore outside the convent. A tentative attraction blooms into something deeper, freeing Linnea to seek a new life… and her heart's desire. But when tragedy strikes, she must battle the most powerful magic of the sea to save the man she loves from certain death.   Inspired by "The Little Mermaid," this novella is the first entry in my new Tales Retold series. There's more than one road to Happy Ever After…

A princess en route to an arranged marriage.  A servant who takes her place.  A lively, spirited horse.  A king awaiting his bride.  A goose girl with secrets.   Which tale is true?
