Once Upon A Rose

A cursed lord, a feisty librarian, and their baby dragon.

When Lord Alexander Dunham proposes a marriage of convenience to avoid being forced to marry another, librarian Beatrice Montgomery surprises them both by accepting. A loveless marriage wasn't her plan, but she'll take it in exchange for a life of stability. 

As the new husband and wife share meals, bond over books and board games, and enjoy fireside moments, their baby dragon isn't the only thing shooting sparks...but time is running out and his secrets could hurt them both.

Can the trio break his curse before the man who cast it returns and their life together goes up in smoke? 

Once Upon A Rose is a Beauty and the Beast fairytale retelling and the second book in the Galamere Chronicles. Each standalone book is a retelling of a beloved story or fairy tale, with the swoon-worthy sweet romance of a Hallmark movie, the wholesome and heartwarming feeling of cozy fantasy, and the comfort of a found family of friends, with a sprinkling of danger and a dash of magic.
