Three suitors. One impossible choice. And a happily ever after Anna never saw coming.
After years at the palace as a chambermaid with no love matches to show for it, Anna is desperate to marry. Despite her best efforts, suitors never seem to find her good enough. As her dream for a family of her own slips further from her grasp, her mother sends her an ultimatum: marry soon or come home.
The idea of returning home to her mother’s scowls and high expectations is worse than Anna can bear. But when a palace gardener offers to set her up on three dates, she eagerly accepts the chance to restore her family’s reputation.
But as each courtship goes from disappointing to disastrous, Anna begins to despair. Especially when Tanner's teasing grin, protective charm, and warm, bustling family start to feel far more promising than any suitor ever could. And the more time she spends trying to follow his advice, the more Anna begins to realize she might be falling for the one man she was never supposed to want: the lowly gardener who sees right through her.
Now Anna must choose between the future she thought she wanted… and the one that feels just right.
This cozy, clean YA Goldilocks retelling, full of sweetness, longing, and fairy-tale charm, is sure to sweep you off your feet.
