About the author
Annette K. Larsen
23 books535 followersI love words. I always have. In songs, in poems, in books, in movies—words move me. In my younger years, I dabbled in writing as a therapy and an escape, but I never expected it to become more than that. While deep in the depths of mommying several small children, I took seven years to write my first book, Just Ella. During that time, I taught myself how to write a novel through a whole lot of trial and error. Not the most time-efficient method, but it gave me an education I wouldn’t have received from a class or a how-to book. Something about the struggle of writing without a formula or rules worked for me. I wrote for me. I wrote from my heart space, and I think that’s the reason that Just Ella has found room in so many of my readers’ heart spaces.
I write clean romance because I love it. I love the discovery of new love. I love the relationship building that’s done with looks, words, brushing fingers, and tentative kisses. Jane Eyre is the hero of my youth and taught me that being true to yourself and clinging to your convictions will be hard, but it will bring you more genuine happiness than giving up on yourself ever can.
I am an extraordinarily happy wife, and a mother of five kids. I’ve lived in Utah, Arizona, Missouri, and Virginia, but my heart is now firmly ensconced in Idaho where we’ve built a home and a community.
I love chocolate, waterfalls, pretty teacups, the sight and sound of ocean waves, and most especially my husband and my five littles. I love books that leave me with a sigh of contentment, and I aspire to write stories that do the same for my readers.

Annette has done it again!! This time in a short novella of sorts. She always leaves me wanting more. I loved little glimpses of someone else “seeing” Ella and having two stories going on side by side. My only sadness? I needed about 200 more pages!

I loved this short story prequel to Annette Larsen's Dalthia series! It was a sweet introduction to her world and the eldest princess of the royal family.
Mia is searching for a suitable husband. As the eldest princess, she knows that she needs to find a suitable match as she may end up being the queen one day. However, only one man has sparked her interest and he has no intention of being more than a friend to her because of life circumstances.
Lord Havington is surprised by the immediate attraction he feels to Princess Mia. When he learns that he is many years older than her, he immediately switches his focus to being only a friend to her. But he can't deny the ache he feels when he sees her pursuing other young men, and he can't seem to stay away from her presence entirely.
Will Princess Mia and Lord Havington realize that the two of them would make the perfect match? Or will Lord Havington allow Princess Mia to marry another? Read Refusing Mia to find out!
