Ever Rose

If Briar Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) can’t find a suitable prince to kiss her awake in her own ancient time, can she find one in modern-day Central Park? The 13th Faery—who cursed the girl in the first place—makes it her mission to lure the right man to Rose’s side. There the Faery discovers that oldest of lessons: You can lead a prince to a princess, but you can’t make him kiss her. With bonus story "The Greening" by Claire Crow.
