Before the Whickertons became legends, three stories lit the spark. This prequel trio captures the early days of love that shaped everything to come. From meddlesome matchmaking to unexpected courtship and the timeless ache of friendship transforming into something more, these tales are woven with courage, devotion, and the first brave steps toward lifelong happiness.
🎄 Once Upon an Aggravatingly Heroic Kiss Lady Edith Weston is determined to help her friend escape a loveless match—but her holiday meddling leads to more than she bargained for. Jasper Beaumont, Earl of Whickerton, came to honor a promise, not fall in love with a sharp-eyed whirlwind. Yet as Edith fights for another’s joy, she begins to hope for her own—and together, they choose happiness over duty.
💔 Once Upon a Not at all Innocent Kiss Beatrice Hartley faces a future shaped by heartbreak and reputation. Charles Beaumont, Lord Hawthorne, sees her not as a scandal, but as someone extraordinary. While society turns away, Charles steps forward—and Beatrice must decide if she’s willing to risk being cherished. Love, here, isn’t earned. It’s claimed.
🌿 Once Upon a Kiss Gone Horribly Wrong Anne Thatcher and Tobias Hawke have always been best friends. But one stolen moment beneath the mistletoe changes everything. As long-held feelings rise, both must decide whether risking their bond might lead to something deeper—or leave them with nothing. Because sometimes, the safest place is the scariest to reach for.
💫 If you’ve ever looked back at the beginning and felt it tug gently on your heart—these stories will bring you home.
