Secondhand Charm
by Julie Berry
Release date: October 2010
Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Romance, YA
Description from the amazon:
In a secluded village, magic sparkles on the edges of the forest. There, a young girl named Evie possesses unusually strong powers as a healer.
A gypsy's charms—no more than trinkets when worn by others—are remarkably potent when Evie ties them around her neck.

But Evie wants more than a quiet village and the boy next-door.
When the young king's carriage arrives one day, and his footman has fallen ill, Evie might just get her chance after all . . .
Berry's debut novel garnered glowing reviews and strong sales—and now she's done it again with a beautifully woven tale to keep all readers, young and old, absolutely charmed.
