Description
How hard can it be to avoid a prince?
Princess Rose loves her kingdom and her family which is why she's always been a dutiful and obedient princess. But sometimes she wonders if it's possible to be too dutiful-where does the princess end and Rose the person begin?
Her family want her to make a marriage alliance with the handsome Crown Prince Leo of Lanover, but asking her heart to fall in love on command is too much. She's willing to visit Lanover, but she's determined to avoid Prince Leo whatever it takes-even if it means swapping places with the commoner girl sharing her carriage.
But masquerading as a commoner isn't as freeing as Rose expected, and Prince Leo turns out to be a difficult person to avoid. Rose needs to protect both Arcadia and Lanover from a dangerous thief, so she doesn't want distractions, but commanding a heart not to fall in love might be even more challenging than commanding it to do the opposite.
To Entangle a Heart is a novella of approximately 40,000 words.

Person
Melanie Cellier grew up on a staple diet of books, books and more books. And although she got older, she never stopped loving children's and young adult novels.
She always wanted to write one herself, but it took three careers and three different continents before she actually managed it.
She now feels incredibly fortunate to spend her time writing from her home in Adelaide, Australia where she keeps an eye out for koalas in her backyard. Her staple diet hasn't changed much, although she's added choc mint Rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list.
She writes young adult fantasy including her Spoken Mage series, and her Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series which are made up of linked stand-alone fairy tale retellings.
