Sleeping Beauty Wakes Twice

Prince Charming woke me first. The truth will wake me again.

Everyone knows my story. Prince Charming finds the sleeping princess, wakes her with true love's kiss, and marries her. We live happily ever after.

Not even close.

Three years after King Philip rescued me from a century-long curse, I catch my devoted husband kissing another woman. That's bad enough, but even worse...she's unconscious.

The questions that follow lead me beneath the palace, where Philip has hidden something far worse than an affair. A monster has been chained in the oldest dungeon for ten years.

Except Draven isn't a monster. He's Philip's older brother, the Crown Prince everyone believes died years ago. According to him, the strange sleeps that have plagued me since my awakening have nothing to do with my old curse.

My husband has been drugging me.

Every answer strips another beautiful piece from the fairy tale I thought was my life. Philip didn't save me. His famous kiss wasn't true love. Even the tenderness I trusted most conceals something ugly.

Now the only people I can trust are a furious imprisoned prince, my dangerously loyal best friend, and the dead witch who cursed me in the first place.

Philip built a kingdom on stories. Unfortunately for Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty is finally awake.
