The Damsel in This Dress Stillings, Marianne

**The Damsel in This Dress** flips fairy tale expectations on their perfectly coiffed head in this delightfully subversive contemporary romance. When fashion-forward heroine finds herself in need of rescuing, she discovers the real power lies in designer heels and sharp wit—not waiting around for Prince Charming to show up fashionably late.

Marianne Stillings crafts a story that's equal parts romantic comedy and feminist statement, exploring themes of independence, self-worth, and finding love without losing yourself in the process. Perfect for readers who devour romantic comedies, enjoy heroines with backbone, and appreciate humor that doesn't rely on secondhand embarrassment.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows minimal wear and maximum charm—just like our protagonist's favorite little black dress.
