I see Rory Walker coming from a mile away, literally, and as soon as I set eyes on her sashaying down the street, I know — I’ve got to have her.
And not just her body, although those curves are damned succulent. I’ve got the hots for her bright mind and thoughtful heart too.
Then I realize that she’s open to the social justice issues that weight heavily on me and I’m a goner.
I’m all hers, if she’ll have me.
But between her restrictive upbringing and the general unease that most folks seem to feel around activists like me, I’m not at all confident she will.
Then again, maybe I can wake her up to the kind of life we could share if we’re able to accept each other as we are . . .
Apollo and Rory’s mostly standalone story in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series is very loosely inspired by the story of Sleeping Beauty and features:
sexual awakenings
over the top instalove at first sight
a curvy librarian
an exploration of social justice & activism
ice cream!
The Once Upon a H.E.A. series is what happens when folktales and contemporary romance meet, fall madly in love, and have lots of little book babies. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and only consensual shenanigans await. Happily ever after guaranteed!

Reader Praise for the Once upon a H.E.A. series::
“SWEET was a great story. The plot and characters were strong. The story was written well. Poppy Parkes did a great job on it. I enjoyed Greta and Hank's story.”
“When you think about retelling fairy tales, Hansel and Gretel is not one that immediately comes to mind. But this author took the idea and ran! Wonderful! Hank and Greta aren't brother and sister, but rather boyfriend and girlfriend. High school sweethearts! Love it! And the wicked witch is Hank's mother .... as a very demanding business owner. A few bumps and bruising along with some growing pains, but as in all fairy tales, everything works out in the end. Cute and fun, if you enjoy fairy tales, you'll like this book!”
“Hank and Greta were super cute together. I loved their connection and their quirkiness with other. Very little drama but a whole lot of love in this book. I recommend this book and can't wait for the rest of the series!”
