Fall in love with your favorite fairy tales reimagined as contemporary romances, from bestselling and award-winning authors Julie Murphy, Jasmine Guillory, Zoraida Córdova, and Christina Lauren, now in a stunningly collectable, highly giftable, four-book paperback boxed set.

If the Shoe Fits: Julie Murphy reimagines Cinderella as a contemporary fish out of water story. When aspiring shoe designer Cindy is cast as the first and only plus-size contestant on the world’s biggest reality dating show, she will have to take a leap of faith and hope her heels—and her heart—don’t break in the process. 

By the Book: Jasmine Guillory reimagines Beauty and the Beast as a literary workplace romance that’s a tale as old as time. Overworked and underpaid and one of the few Black employees at her publishing house, editorial assistant Izzy pictures a promotion when she agrees to help brooding author Beau Towers finish his memoir. As their deadline nears, Izzy and Beau begin to realize there may be something there that wasn’t there before.

Kiss the Girl: Zoraida Cordova reimagines The Little Mermaid as a pop star struggling to find her voice and listen to her heart. Anyone would think world-famous pop star Ariel del Mar is the girl who has everything. But indie rock star Eric Reyes has no idea who she is when he invites her on tour for the summer with his band. When sparks fly, can Ariel follow her dreams, fall in love, and, somehow, find her own voice?

Tangled Up in You: Christina Lauren reimagines Tangled as a modern romance about breaking free from the past and opening your heart to the future. Raised on a homestead for most of her twenty-two years, Ren is finally achieving her dream of going to college. But an assignment in her immunology seminar sends her on a cross-country road trip with bad boy Fitz, to discover the truth about her family.
Julie Murphy (If the Shoe Fits) is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of books for all ages including Dumplin’ (now a film on Netflix and one of TIME Magazine's 100 Best YA Books of All Time), Dear Sweet Pea, and If the Shoe Fits. She is also the co-author of the Christmas Notch series with Sierra Simone. Julie is also the founder of Bittersweet Books, a story production and intellectual property company. Author Residence: North Texas, Texas.
