Ravishing Rapunzel by Rosetta Bloom

Rapunzel is a sickly child, according to her mother. Forced by her mother to hide from the world, the only thing Rapunzel wants is connection to another human being.

Stuck in a life of the royal court, all Prince Bradyn wants is to meet someone real, someone who’s only goal isn’t to curry favor with his parents.

When Rapunzel gets a rare day out without her mother, she stumbles across Bradyn in the woods and the two pleasantly get to know each other. Unfortunately, shortly after Rapunzel’s mother spirits he away to a tower in the woods, a place she tells Rapunzel will keep her safe.

Bradyn is devastated when he realizes his friend is gone. He searches for her for years to no avail. One day, when hope is lost, he happens to spy a tower in a clearing, and sees an old woman call, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair.” Now that Bradyn has found her again, he intends to do everything in his power to make Rapunzel his.
