The Masked Slipper: Tales of Evermagic, Book 1 (excerpt)

Do you believe in happy ever after? Because Nicolette does not. She's a Cinderella who has always dreaded her fairy tale. But what is she to do when she's marrying a stranger instead of the man she met at the ball? Congratulate herself on escaping the magic? Or wish she'd let it do its job, and give her to the masked man who had so quickly stolen her heart?

Standing in front of the prince she is being forced to marry, Nicolette realizes that her fairy tale has gone awry. She is a Cinderella, and she isn't marrying the man she met at the ball she so begrudgingly attended in glass slippers she did not want to put on. She had always dreaded her fairy tale, but now she's wondering what went wrong?

In this world where fairy tales are relived by the masses it is normal for the story to change, but not the love interest chosen by the magic. Instead of the sincere, kind, and charming masked-man she met at the ball, she is chosen by a spell to marry a complete stranger who is not only disinterested in her, but has the mental maturity of a ten year old.

But nothing is ever as it seems when Evermagic is involved, and through its guidance, Nicolette will find herself having to choose between leaving or staying with her new husband. But what is more, she must consider the possibility that she is now living in a second story, and this one might finally prove to her of her true worth.
