A chance meeting, a misunderstanding, and a second chance for a royal love affair…

​

Once, King Gabriel was bewitched by a violet-eyed beauty at a masquerade ball, but she left the function without a trace…not even a slipper. Now, Cinderella has a name. Fate has thrown India Hamilton right in Gabriel’s path, and he’s determined to expose her as the gold-digger he knows her to be.

​

Gabriel’s attempt at revenge soon loses its appeal. India’s generous actions and smart control of his sister’s foundation suggest a strong, kind woman, undeserving of his scorn and anger. It soon becomes clear that India’s life has been far from the fairytale existence he’d imagined and this is not a Cinderella story at all: India is a beauty and Gabriel has been acting like a beast. ​
