He's a legend, a nightmare, a blight upon his fair kingdom. Though Sophie knows it would be wiser to return home, she's inexplicably drawn to the man of shadows. But it doesn't take Sophie long to realize that falling for the cursed prince might prove to be more of an adventure than she ever bargained for... A Bear's Bride is a romantic fairy tale novella.

Each story follows the adventures of one of seven children from the same family as they seek out their own happily ever afters in spite of their reluctant fairy-godfather.
