Summary
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.

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.
