Adapted Tales

What if Cinderella didn't want the prince? What if she wanted his man-at-arms? Elara's world collapsed with the death of her father, and a year later, nothing has improved. After Elara's naïve actions left her family destitute, she swore to fix things herself. However, with her step-mother still trapped in her grief, property taxes coming due, and Elara's savings not making the mark, she may be forced to admit she can't bring back what she squandered-until a solution comes from her childhood crush. Being the prince's man-at-arms is an honor, even when the prince is more annoying than Gideon can fathom. In yet another attempt to get Gideon to loosen up, the prince convinces the king and queen that Gideon needs to dance at the upcoming ball, with dance lessons to help him prepare. Gideon's desperation to avoid stuffy lessons with the royal dance instructor leads him to the perfect solution-his original dance teacher and childhood best friend. When Gideon tells Elara the royal family will pay her for these dance lessons, Elara can't say no. But when the true source of that payment comes to light, Elara must decide if her pride is worth more than the love she's come to have for Gideon.
