Bleeding Heart

About the Book

Her life has fallen apart - only for her to discover that it was a lie all along.

Elicia never suspected that she was anything but the simple daughter of a farmer. Sure, her older brother seems intent on alienating her family from their neighbors with his entitlement and bad attitude, but that hardly makes her unique. That is, until her father, on his deathbed, makes a shocking revelation. Elicia is not his natural daughter - he and his late wife found her on their doorstep as a baby.

Still reeling from the revelation, her brother is now bent on making her life a living nightmare. When a mysterious woman sends her to a royal ball, she's left with even more questions than before. Her one ally she can trust is her so-called flower - an unknown young man who can speak to her through a potted bleeding heart that had been found with her as a baby.

Who is she really? Can the kingdom survive the treachery that has bubbled to the surface? Just what is her role in all of it?

Spring has sprung with these eight swoony sweet retellings. Each novella finds its happily ever after amidst themes of rebirth, hope, and new life. Each book is fully independent and they can be read in any order.

Bleeding Heart is a combined retelling of Felicia and the Pretty Pinks and Cinderella, featuring tropes such as hidden royalty, heroine's quest, and fated love.
