When Susan & Arabella's mother marries Lord Cinders, they find their new, perfect stepsister Ethel has some horrible flaws. The worst, she refuses to consider them family and forces them to do all the house work in her father's absence at sea. Assuring the girl's mother cannot say a word to her husband by devious tactics. But what happens when the tables turn, will the persecuted become the persecutors and live up to their names as the evil step family?
This is a twist on the classic Cinderella story, written in a style not so far off The Brother's Grim.

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Lengkap
The Honest Queen (A Fairytale Retelling)
Drizella Tremaine was never the ugly stepsister she seemed to be-sharp, clever, and fiercely honest, she has long been overshadowed by her stepsister, Cinderella. When a chance encounter in a forgotten library brings her face-to-face with Prince Henry, a friendship sparked by insults and laughter slowly grows into a love that neither expected. But love is not enough to shield them from ambition and deceit. In a tale of letters and lies, fire and ashes, The Honest Queen is a sweeping retelling of Cinderella-where the stepsister becomes the queen, the prince learns to see beyond appearances, and happily ever after is earned through truth, courage, and love.Lengkap

After losing her father, she's trapped under the roof of a cruel stepmother and two spoiled stepsisters-forced to give up her dreams, her freedom, and even her name. But everything changes the night of the royal ball. She's not supposed to be there. She's not supposed to wear a borrowed gown, or dance under the stars. And she's definitely not supposed to fall for Princess Citrine Charming-the bold, beautiful royal with a crown and a secret smile just for her.
