Charming and inventive, Wishes offers a romance that tiptoes between reality and fairytale. A smart, heartfelt retelling perfect for fans of Kiera Cass and Melanie Dickerson! -CAROLINE GEORGE, author of Dearest Josephine
MEET THE PRINCE AT THE BALL
On the eve of the Coronation, aspiring newspaper columnist Penelope Beaumont is assigned the story of a lifetime-revealing that the Crown Prince isn't the rightful heir to Loirehall's throne.
Desperate to leave her dysfunctional step-family and tempted by the chance to claim her late father's former column in The Loirehall Times like she's always wished, Penelope accepts the job.
But a fateful encounter with Crown Prince Nicholas Garcon brings their shared history into question. Together they uncover darker secrets about the royal family and the Yorkson Tragedy-the event that claimed the lives of their parents.
Will the connection between Nicholas and Penelope be strong enough to overcome the story between them, or will lies and rumors upend the long-awaited Coronation Ball this winter solstice and change the future of the royal family forever?
Features of this story:
*Bonus chapters from Nicholas POV from Amber Kirkpatrick
*Vintage newspaper vibe
*Poetic prose
*Swoony, clean romance, with only bittersweet kisses
*Childhood friends-to-lovers with a tragic twist
*Non-magical, young adult fairytale retelling of Cinderella + Pinocchio
*Christmas, winter vibes
*Standalone prequel to the Heartbooks series of loosely unconnected stories, which can be read in any order. Read if you like books filled with old family secrets, a charming, European-inspired setting, and swoon in every scene.
A lush, wintery mystery novella, Wishes is a royal romance that feels like a British Classic with Hallmark vibes. Ideal for fans of The Crown, Disney's live action Cinderella, Veil of Winter by Melanie Dickerson, and Stephanie Garber's Once Upon a Broken Heart.
