What happened after the Ball?
Cinderella got her happily ever after while her step-sisters got what they deserved.
Two years after that night, Drusilla Tremaine's life has turned upside down. Their fortune had dwindled to nothing, Anastasia had left, their house was crumbling, and her mother saw none of it.
With the help of her first friend, Drusilla sets off into the world, hoping to get away from everything related to her old life and her mistakes. She finds herself in a new city with no job and no one.
With her newfound freedom, Drusilla does her best to keep her head down and try to redeem her past.
Life has other plans.
With the help of her new friends and a reluctant partnership with an eccentric man, Drusilla could find her own happily ever after. Or, like her mother always said, they would prove to be her downfall.

-sample- "Answer my question and I would more than love to continue." I find myself nodding frantically and his chuckle echoes in his body. "Use your words." I find myself blushing again but I say nothing. He pulls a breath away from me. When I continue to say nothing he leans back down, briefly brushing his lips over mine with no pressure behind it. His hand on the base of my neck moves up slightly, tilting my head back to his side so my neck is to him. His fingertips brushing over my skin sends a large wave of tingles through me and I can't suppress the shudder that leaves me.
