Book description
Miss Kate Daltry doesn't believe in fairy tales . . . or happily ever
after. Forced by her stepmother to attend a ball, Kate meets a prince,
and decides he's anything but charming. A clash of wits and wills
ensues, but they both know their irresistible attraction will lead
nowhere. For Gabriel is promised to another woman - a princess whose
hand in marriage will fulfil his ruthless ambitions. Gabriel likes his
fiancée, which is a welcome turn of events, but he doesn't love her, and
knows he should be wooing his bride-to-be, not the witty, impoverished
beauty who refuses to fawn over him. Godmothers and glass slippers
notwithstanding, this is one fairy tale in which destiny conspires to
destroy any chance that Kate and Gabriel might have a happily ever after
- unless one kiss at the stroke of midnight changes everything. A NEW
YORK TIMES bestseller many times over, Eloisa James lives in New York
City, where she is a Shakespeare professor (with an M. Phil. from
Oxford). She is also the mother of two children and, in a particularly
delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian
knight.
