Once upon a time in San Diego, CA, Cindy Lovett lived a fairy tale childhood. But her beloved father passed away. Enslaved by her age, she suffered years of abuse at the hand of her wicked stepmother. When she finally turns twenty-one, she decides to leave it all behind, and sneaks away, calling an Uber to make her escape.
When Aiden Braswell blows into the parking lot like a bat out of hell, Cindy assumes he's her Uber and climbs into his back seat. "Hurry! Get me out of here."
The Navy SEAL whisks her away without explaining her mistake.
A magical night ensues. But when morning comes, she's captured and returned, discovering she doesn't get to choose love over marriage.
But men like Aiden rule the world as Kings, choosing their queens.
This is a modern-day loosely based risqué retelling of Cinderella's fairy tale romance.
