Genderflipped Histoires

What if a shoemaker fell in love with a princess, and won her hand with a pair of beautifully crafted slippers? Aidan, an overworked and underpaid cobbler employed by his late father's greedy business partner, has one goal in life: to build a better life for himself and escape his harsh reality. When the king declares a ball at which the most unique gift will win the princess's hand, Rosie, Aidan's childhood friend, asks for help escaping her father's decree, Aidan begins to craft his gift. But as the evening of the ball draws near, tragedy strikes and it is up to a jolly old man and a pair of elves to help set things right. The Elves and the Shoemaker meets a gender-flipped Cinderella.

When the best man for the job is a woman, the Covert Analytical Network Design Yard (or CANDY for those who prefer silly acronyms) sends in Meg Brandon to clean up the mess. An undercover agent by training, she can blend in with street urchins in Morocco as effortlessly as she can neutralize the radioactive core of a dirty bomb in Vladivostok. Being a spy is highly stressful, but Meg knows how to best decompress: preferably in the beds of her most trusted informants, although an occasional target has been known to slip in, too. Money, murder, and mayhem. Why should the guys have all the fun? [Approx. 20K word Novella] (c) Copyright 2017-19 R.S. Kovach. All rights reserved.
