The One I Want: Once Upon a Time, Book 3

Once upon a time in the enchanting wine-country town of Everwood, there was a young woman named Ariel Callahan, who, like the Little Mermaid, loved a prince from a world unlike her own. Tej Nair, a prince in his own right, was a man caught between love and duty, fond of Ariel but tethered to his conservative Indian family's expectations. Ariel's love for Tej was as deep as the ocean, yet she had to keep it hidden, just like her heartache upon discovering she could never bear children. This secret, used by Tej's mother, tore them apart, leading Ariel to flee to New York, leaving behind her childhood home and family for a life of helping others. Seven years passed with Ariel transforming her pain into passion, working tirelessly at the ACLU. But the call of Everwood, her home, was strong, and she returned to find solace in her family's vineyard and the cozy confines of the Whispering Vines wine bar. Tej's journey mirrored Ariel's. His life was a tale of unfulfilled dreams and obligations, leading to an unhappy arranged marriage and a successful yet unfulfilling career. His heart remained adrift, just like his new home on a boat in Santa Barbara harbor. Their reunion was bittersweet, laden with resentment and unspoken truths. The spark that once ignited their love still flickered, but the shadows of their past loomed large. It seemed as though their story was destined for heartache, until a sprinkle of magic, the warmth of Everwood's sun-kissed vineyards, and the courage to embrace true love guided them back to each other. I am Seraphine Vine, the fairy godmother of Everwood. I bring together lost souls and mend broken hearts. With a wave of my magic wand, I present to you the tale of a little mermaid and her prince, a story of sacrifice, hidden truths, and the enduring power of love. For sometimes, the one you want is worth every trial.
