There’s just something about a Cinderella retelling, right? The grand ball, the hidden identity, the romance that defies all the rules—these stories never get old! And when you mix that with historical romance? It’s pure magic.
But what if the hero is the one playing Cinderella? What if the prince isn’t so charming? What if the girl in the glass slippers would rather burn them than wait to be rescued?
