In this CINDERELLA retelling, a young gentlewoman flees from her rigid life disguised as a man in order to claim her rightful inheritance, study, and make her own living. Things get awkward when "Mister" Pearce begins to tutor a wealthy industrialist and they develop feelings for one another. Welcome to a fairytale where the "princess" takes matters into her own hands. Expect no fairy godmothers or anthropomorphic animals here. ___ Cover designed using CANVA PRO August 2020.
