Stay for a Spell by Amy Coombe

One curse, seven princes, and a bookshop you'll never want to leave.

Stay for a Spell is a charming, whimsical cozy fantasy romance filled with books, magic, fairy-tale adventures, found family, and an unexpected romance.

Princess Tanadelle of the Widdenmar has had enough of royal life. Tired of endless duties, formal dinners, and expectations, Tandy longs for something much simpler: meaningful conversation, a life of her own, and plenty of uninterrupted time to read.

During a royal visit to the small town of Little Pepperidge, Tandy unexpectedly gets her wish when a curse traps her inside a run-down bookshop until she can discover her heart's true desire.

For Tandy, being stuck in a bookstore doesn't sound much like a curse.

She quickly settles into her new life among towering stacks of books, makes new friends, and encounters Bash—an infuriatingly charming pirate who keeps trying to steal her inventory.

But her peaceful escape becomes considerably more complicated when her worried royal parents begin sending princes to rescue her. Seven princes are convinced that the right kiss will break the curse and return Tandy to the life she's supposed to want.

The question is: does Tandy actually want to be rescued?

Warm, funny, romantic, and delightfully bookish, Stay for a Spell is a feel-good fantasy perfect for readers who dream of escaping into a magical bookstore of their own.
