Rabe, Jenny – Once Upon a Mattress

September 13, 2026 · In: 20th

He can’t sleep. She sells mattresses. Should be a simple fix, right?

For Ryland Carson, money can buy anything except happiness, freedom, or a decent night’s sleep. With the clock ticking toward an arranged marriage to save his father’s billion-dollar advertising firm, he’s running out of time and options. But first, sleep. Desperate for a full eight hours of rest, Ryland finds himself in the last place he expected: a struggling mattress store.

Leini Korhonen is barely keeping her grandmother’s store afloat. Sales are down, repairs are piling up, and the bank is closing in. One big customer could save her, at least for this month. Ryland could be that customer—if she could only find a mattress that fit his needs.

A simple transaction turns into something far more dangerous, and as their connection deepens, so do the risks. Choosing love over duty could cost Ryland his family’s future—and put Leini in the crosshairs of powerful women who can ruin her with a single call.

With pressure mounting, Ryland and Leini must decide: protect everything they’ve built separately or risk it all for something real together.
