The Storybook Bride
(2025)(A book in the Borderland Brides Fairytale Retellings series)
A novel by Jacque Stevens
A magical dance. A storybook prince. The slipper fits, but will it ever come off?
Nora Nilsdotter might be a daughter of a lowly cobbler and a castle stitch-girl, but once she’s invited to the prince’s Selection Ball, she’s certain how the rest of her story should go. Afterall, she has the occasionally-irritable-and-quite-possibly-evil stepsisters. She even has a mysterious and glamourous pair of ruby dance-slippers. She might not love the prince, but what does that matter? This is her chance to make things in the kingdom better for all the other peasant girls just like her.
But when a handsome guard from her past seems determined to set her heart racing and expose all her secrets, can she still rewrite her story to become the prince’s bride? Or are all her dreams as cursed as a certain pair of red shoes?
The Storybook Bride is a clean romantic and comedic fantasy inspired by the Red Shoes and other fairytales. This story takes place at the same time as The Swan Bride and can be read in any order.
