Little Bo Sneak

Once Upon A Rhyme #2 / 7
by Abigail Manning
Little Bo Sneak (Once Upon A Rhyme #2) by Abigail Manning
Unrated

What if Little Bo Peep, had a skill for catching crooks?

Lady Genevieve Rayelle Palleep loves to point out what no one else notices, which makes it a tad difficult to get along with most suitors. While tracking down details may not be beneficial for her life as a lady, it certainly has uses in her more secretive life. Since being recruited as a crown agent as a child, Evie’s talents have never failed to hunt down black market goods, runaway convicts, or anything else one could imagine... That is, until her next mission bears an interesting request.
When eight magic-fused wool cloaks go missing from the black market, the agency doesn’t feel that Evie can handle the task alone. Much to Evie’s regret, she’s assigned her very first partner, an obnoxiously attractive agent by the name of Shepherd. He wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t have to go undercover as courting lovers... or if he wasn’t so perfect.
With her new partner in tow, and a mysterious stack of cloaks ready to be found, Evie is determined to prove she never needed Shep’s help from the start. She’s worked too hard to let another man drag her around like a wandering sheep. Will Evie be able to track down the missing wools? Or will her distrust of her partner leave them both lost?

Abigail Manning

Abigail Manning writes fantasy with the comforting warmth of a bedtime story and the sense of wonder that first draws readers into magical worlds. Her novels are filled with enchanted kingdoms, hidden destinies, courageous heroines, and romances that unfold amid adventure, creating stories that feel inspired by the fairy tales many readers grew up loving while still offering surprises of their own.

Rather than treating classic folklore as something fixed and untouchable, she approaches it as a living tradition. Familiar legends become starting points rather than boundaries. A tale that once seemed complete may reveal an entirely different perspective, a forgotten character, or a new path through a magical realm. This creative curiosity has become one of the defining qualities of her work, allowing her to craft fantasy romances that feel both recognizable and refreshingly original.

Before becoming an author, Manning studied Early Childhood Development and Theatre Arts, two fields that quietly shaped her storytelling voice. Her understanding of how stories connect with people at different stages of life, combined with a love of performance and narrative, helped create the foundation for books that place character growth and emotional connection at the center of the adventure. The influence is easy to spot in her fiction, where personal journeys often carry as much importance as magical quests.

Much of her writing explores themes that have long been at the heart of fairy tales: courage in the face of uncertainty, the search for belonging, the transformative power of love, and the belief that kindness can matter just as much as strength. While her worlds feature magic, curses, royal intrigue, and fantastical creatures, the emotional stakes remain grounded in experiences readers can easily relate to.

Her growing catalog includes multiple fantasy romance and fairy tale retelling series that have attracted readers looking for clean young adult fantasy, imaginative world-building, and uplifting storytelling. These books have found a welcoming audience among fans who enjoy enchanted settings without sacrificing character depth, romance, or adventure.

What ultimately distinguishes her work is its sense of optimism. Even when her characters face impossible odds, there is always the feeling that hope remains just beyond the next page. That balance of wonder, heart, and imagination continues to make her stories appealing to readers who believe that every fairy tale still has new magic left to discover.
