Miss Kate Daltry doesn't believe in fairy tales . . . or happily ever after.
Forced by her stepmother to attend a ball, Kate meets a prince... and decides he's anything but charming. A clash of wits and wills ensues, but they both know their irresistible attraction will lead nowhere. For Gabriel is promised to another woman—a princess whose hand in marriage will fulfill his ruthless ambitions.
Gabriel likes his fiancee, which is a welcome turn of events, but he doesn't love her. Obviously, he should be wooing his bride-to-be, not the witty, impoverished beauty who refuses to fawn over him.
Godmothers and glass slippers notwithstanding, this is one fairy tale in which destiny conspires to destroy any chance that Kate and Gabriel might have a happily ever after.
Unless a prince throws away everything that makes him noble...
Unless a dowry of an unruly heart trumps a fortune...
Unless one kiss at the stroke of midnight changes everything.

Cinderella, with a twist.
Oh, there's an evil stepmother, all right.
And the Prince Charming.
And ‘rats'.
And the godmother.
And the glass slipper, of course.
But this Cinderella is one tough girl with wits to match. And the Prince Charming is not an English prince, really. And there's the stepsister, who is not evil at all. In fact, she's a lovable stepsister, who's illegitimate, by the way.
Interesting, you say? Yep, it is. Just not fetching enough.
