Too Big for Wonderland
Dumped for being too big, Alice falls into Wonderland, where being bigger than the Queen of Hearts is a crime punished by death. The Queen’s son, a cold executioner who feels nothing, spares her when his heart starts beating at her touch. To get home, Alice needs him to fall in love with her.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Alice has spent four years letting Liam choose everything—her plates, her dresses—because he was the only man who ever said he loved her. At their engagement party, he repays her by announcing he won't marry her at all. "Look at her. I can't marry this," he says, then claims half her bakery to turn it into a juice bar. He even lets her keep the cake, with a jab that she'll eat it anyway.
Then Alice falls into Wonderland, where the Queen of Hearts takes one look and declares that nobody is bigger than her. The sentence is immediate: off with her head.
Episode 2
Dragged before the executioner, Alice refuses to beg. She already begged a man an hour ago and got thrown away, so she stands silent—and the Prince notices. Everyone begs, he says; she is the first who didn't. Something shifts in him. He tells his mother he's keeping this prisoner, and the Queen allows it with a warning: pets don't live long in her palace.
Pressed on why he spared her, the Prince admits he felt warm at her touch—the first feeling since he was nine, when his mother cut out his heart. It now sits in a glass case in the garden, and it beat for Alice.
Episode 3
The Queen sends a shrinking potion: drink it and be smaller than Her Majesty by dawn, or lose her head. Alice almost obeys out of habit—four years of Liam's diets taught her to shrink—but refuses. She won't shrink for another tyrant.
The Prince, meanwhile, wants more of the warmth. They strike a deal: one touch a night, and he gives her something she wants. Tonight it's real food and a window. But Alice learns the cost of her plan. The last thing the Prince loved was a puppy, and the Queen cut off its head to punish him. If he loves Alice, his mother will come for her too.
Episode 4
Alice's plan sharpens: every new feeling she wakes in the Prince turns his heart redder, and a fully red heart will love her enough to let her go. So she teaches him. Holding hands. Desire—"very dangerous," she warns. A kiss, which he hasn't earned yet.
His heart turns pink for the first time in fifteen years, and the Queen panics. A son who feels is a son who can tell her no. The Duchess, who has starved ten years to marry him, is ordered to invite the overgrown girl to croquet—as a player, and as bait.
Episode 5
At croquet, the overgrown are made to bend, and a broken hoop means the block. Alice watches a room full of courtiers enjoy her humiliation, and nobody steps in. She refuses to be one of those people. "Stop. Let her go. I'll take her place," she says, offering herself for the punished girl.
The Queen pushes her son to swing true and prove he feels nothing. He misses the hoop. The Prince who never lies has just lied to his mother to protect Alice.
Episode 6
The Queen decides Alice can work off her debt, pouring wine at the banquet—after the Duchess lends her a corset with a sneer. "I starved ten years to fit it," the Duchess says, and warns she'll watch Alice choke before letting her have the Prince.
Laced too tight, Alice can barely breathe, and the court erupts in laughter—the same laugh from her engagement party, just in a different world. The Prince watches. When the mockery peaks, he steps in to claim her.
Episode 7
The Prince's defense of Alice doesn't sit well with the Duchess, who reminds him he called Alice nothing. He admits he didn't know yet. When the court laughed, his chest hurt and he couldn't sit still—Alice names it for him: being angry for someone. Nobody has ever been angry for her before.
That night he comes to collect his touch, sees the corset's damage, and orders it fixed. Alice realizes this was supposed to be strategy—so why doesn't she want him to stop? The Queen, watching, makes her threat plain: if her son loves that girl, she'll break them both.
Episode 8
The Queen demands a crime she can kill Alice for. A voice at the table recalls the boy who once poured his bottle on the floor—the refusal that cost him his heart. That's why the Prince's heart beat for her: they're the same kind of defiant.
Then Alice's baking becomes her weapon. Her "eat me" cakes make people bigger—the one thing the Queen fears. She tests jealousy next, sitting close to another man until the Prince flips a table. The Duchess seizes her moment: "Arrest her. She bakes, eat me. That's witchcraft."
Episode 9
The trial is a formality—sentence first, verdict after. The Duchess's evidence: Alice bakes, and when she touches the Prince, his heart beats. Witchcraft. Alice's defense is simple: she fed one hungry man.
The Queen sentences her to death by her son's axe, threatening to break his heart if he refuses. The Prince tells Alice the truth—refuse, and his mother breaks his heart and kills her anyway; swing, and he offers the only kindness he knows. Alice, who started out using him, tells him she won't let him die for it. He won't promise to swing.

One operating room left, every other surgical team tied up with a highway pileup: Tessa is bleeding out with her baby's heart rate crashing, and Paige — her husband's mistress and her oldest friend — is in labor down the hall. Colin makes the choice, and Tessa's own mother and brother enforce it. The surgeons save her life by taking her uterus. Her son is born without a heartbeat, and out in the corridor Colin is holding Paige's newborn while Tessa's mother tells him to hurry up and hold his son.
