The Healer's Apprentice is the 1st book in the series 'A Fairy Tale Romance' series by Melanie Dickerson. 

                                                            A Sleeping Beauty retelling

This is one of my favorites form the series although I like all the books quite a lot. 

Here is a summery of the book.

Rose has been appointed as a healer's apprentice at Hagenheim Castle, a rare opportunity for a woodcutter's daughter like her. While she often feels uneasy at the sight of blood, Rose is determined to prove herself capable. Failure will mean returning home to marry the aging bachelor her mother has chosen for her - a bloated, disgusting merchant who makes Rose feel ill.

When Lord Hamlin, the future duke, it is Rose who must tend to him. As she works to heal his wound, she begins to understand emotions she's never felt before and wonders if he feels the same. But falling in love is forbidden, as Lord Hamlin is betrothed to a mysterious young woman is hiding.

 

As Rose's life spins toward confusion, she must take the rest of the steps on a journey to discover her own destiny.
