Penelope is a simple maid from the countryside. Her parents passed away leaving her to the care of her aunt and uncle whom she has grown attached too. She never believed in fairy tales or happy endings. She never believed in Prince Charming or a knight in shining white armor. Penelope holds herself to her practical beliefs and would prefer to not ever marry.
When invitations are sent out among the kingdom requesting every eligible maiden to attend the ball, Penelope is begrudging to go. However, she decides to give the prince she believes to be a pompous and spoiled brat a piece of her mind.
Then she meets Graham and she begins to question some of her beliefs and the desire to never marry might not be what she wanted after all.

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.

-Damian Davensport- He was the next Duke of Hinley and all of his Father's responsibilities fell into his shoulders. A bride was provided for him, a beautiful lady of good upbringing with an ancient name and heritage. The wealth and title was at his hands. Yet, he was not happy. -Rose Roderick- Raised as a servant without any memory of her past life, she had managed to lived content with what life had offered her. She had grown into a desirable woman who had a roof over her head and food at her table. Yet her heart yearned for something riches and finery could not give. -Dathan Davensport- All his life, he had been the second best. No title to inherit, no responsiblities to think and no wealth to enjoy. He was the black sheep of the family, the opposite of the perfect son his brother portrayed. Yet, he had yearned to be accepted. He comes home and discovers not only he had wanted what his brother already have but what he cannot have as well. For five years they were apart. They had hoped they would outgrow the attraction and closeness they had between them. She knew that her emotions do not count, for she was a servant and he was the next Duke of Hinley. For five years, Rose Roderick kept her admiration for the young Damian Davensport-that is, until he came back and all those stirrings came alive. This time it was hotter, fiercer and more dangerous. But not only does she feel conflicted with him, his brother, Dathan-her great friend had began showing more than childhood closeness to her. He had shown her passion and lust. Things she had responded to willingly. Can she give her heart to a man she could never have? What of her body desires, who screamed to be held captive by someone she did not expect to fall for? And how could she go on, not fully knowing what her real identity meant?
