Cassandra Lopez doesn't believe in fairy tales. She believes in overcooked bosses, underpaid shifts, and stepfathers who steal your inheritance, your house, and your favorite spatula.
By day, she's the invisible sous chef in a stolen club kitchen. By night, she's secretly the three-star-level genius who could make Gordon Ramsay cry happy tears. For eight years, she's scrubbed, chopped, and sautéed under the rule of her evil stepfather and his charmingly toxic son, plotting the moment she can reclaim her father's legacy.
Enter William Oliver Goldlock: billionaire tech prince with a tragic past, a heart of reinforced concrete, and zero time for love. That is, until one bite of Cassandra's cooking tastes exactly like something he hasn't felt in years-home.
He doesn't know:
- The mystery chef with hazel-green eyes is a real-life Cinderella with knife skills.
- Her "glass slippers" are kitchen clogs.
- Helping her escape her personal hell will uncover secrets, fake "accidents," and more family curses than a soap opera marathon.
In a world of poisoned legacies and power-hungry villains, Cassandra isn't waiting for a fairy godmother.
She has a chef's knife, a billionaire prince who suddenly has feelings, and a recipe for revenge.
What could possibly go wrong?
