How awful can it get? Being the rightful heir to the throne, the fairest in the land, of proper manners and royal nuances. Yet, how did she wind up as the resident rat of the Royal family? And assumed as dead by the people.
"...being a maid would be far more dignifying!"
Of course she'd have enough sooner or later...

Sinful Cinderella (Dark Fairy Tale Queens - Book 1)
I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to. The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself.

The Princess and the Royal Guard
Princess Ariana has been in love with her best friend Coby since they were little children. The only problem is, he has always loved her as a sister and nothing more. When she realises that he may never come to love her romantically, a heartbroken Ariana agrees to court Prince Jasper of a neighbouring Kingdom. But what happens when Coby realises that his feelings for Ariana are in fact more then platonic, but she is now courting some Prince, who in his mind is not good enough for her, but is still a man who outweighs him in society since he is just a simple Royal Guard.

Cinderella
In this retelling of a classic tale, Mariette struggles through life with a stepmother that hates her. When she is whisked away at the prince's ball, she begins to believe that her life is going to change-that is until the prince discovers that her slipper is a perfect fit for her stepsister. Fighting the urge to confess her secret, Mariette and her family move into the prince's castle, where old friends-and fiancés-are reunited. Note on Setting: This takes place in a kind of fictional France (hence many of the names, though they speak English). Postscript: "Lady" is a title given to woman married to a man with an estate, much like "Queen" is given to a woman married to a man with a castle. "Mistress" is given to a woman yet to inherit an estate, though of high-class breed (one would not refer to a beggar or maid as 'Mistress'). Monsieur (pronounced Mi-syur, despite the spelling) is a title given to a man that has yet to or has inherited an estate.Complete
