A shoeless son of a miller. A high-fashion tabby. An adventure far more than they bargained for.
Leo is not a normal cat. Archie Miller might be a dreamer, but he’s seen the complex mousetraps the stray barn cat builds, and he knows he’s right. When his late father wills him the “magic cat” as his only inheritance, Archie is ready to prove it, making a deal with the supposed faerie to gain his fortune. But the ornery brown tabby has plans of his own. And when Archie ends up entangled with a shapeshifting ogre and a reckless royal beauty, it seems he has unleashed more magical mayhem than he can handle. Can the shoeless son of a miller romance a princess, become the hero his kingdom needs, and fit into a very fancy pair of hunting boots? Or will all his dreams become a toe-pinching nightmare?
The Shoeless Prince
, a retelling of Puss in Boots, is part of Once Upon a Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone novel features a swoony prince and his flaws, growth, and happily ever after.

The Soulless Prince
2025
A magical dream-world. A soulless prince. And a crazy, cat-lady on a mission.
Tabitha Brewer has always had a thing for cats. They became her family after leaving her previous life as a poor, neglected street urchin. And when one of the quirky creative’s beloved strays goes missing—right after she learns he was an enchanted prince—she can’t get him out of her mind or her dreams. But when parts of her dreams bleed into the waking world, Tabitha realizes that the only way to rescue her former feline companion is to leave her home at the second-hand dress-shop behind and step into a faerie realm filled with every single danger she could possibly imagine. And Tabitha has always had an exceptional imagination. Can an eccentric, shut-in with far too many cats defeat a powerful fae queen, return the heart and soul of her kingdom’s stolen prince, and build a love with someone without whiskers? Or will she lose herself to a magical dream-world just as deadly as her own imagination?
The Soulless Prince
is a clean romantic and comedic fantasy inspired by Tam’lin and other fairytales. It is meant to be read after The Shoeless Prince, revisiting and expanding the ending of that story with fresh new details as told from an alternative character perspective.
TW: Past trauma and other more mature topics that were only briefly alluded to in Shoeless are confirmed and more openly discussed here. Nothing is shown “on page,” maintaining the same humor, clean/sweet romance, and happily-ever-after ending found in Shoeless.
