What if you woke up as the villain in a fairy tale? When Kat crashes into a storybook world as Cinderella's despised stepsister, she has one mission: ensure the classic tale unfolds as written, or she'll never make it back home. But things get complicated fast. Her fellow stepsister is devastatingly beautiful, the fairy godmother is nowhere to be found, and the prince keeps giving Kat looks that definitely weren't in the original story. Torn between doing what's right for Cinderella and listening to her own heart, Kat must decide if rewriting a fairy tale is worth risking her only chance to go home.

Seven years after leaving Athelia behind, Kat thought her fairy tale days were over. That is, until the goblin king's troublemaking daughter reopens a portal between worlds, dragging Kat back into the story. This time, Prince Edward isn't taking any chances. He's determined to make her remember their shared past and keep her in Athelia for good. But Kat's wrestling with memories she can't quite grasp and royal duties she never asked for, all while her modern life pulls her home. And lurking in the shadows is an even greater threat-the very book that started it all. As the two worlds collide, Kat must choose: return to her 21st-century life, or let Edward convince her that some stories deserve a second chance?

*The sequel to The Ugly Stepsister* Seven years have passed since Kat left Athelia. Through the intervention of the goblin king's baby daughter, the book is re-opened and Kat is transported back to Story World. Upon learning she is given a second chance, Edward is determined not to let her go this time. His chance of succeeding, however, seems like nil. Kat doesn't remember anything of their past, she loathes life at court, and she's anxious to return to the modern world. Not to mention that there's a price to pay for tampering with the book again...

Kat has survived. She returns to Athelia as herself, Katherine Wilson. Edward, elated at learning she is alive, vows to bring her back to the palace. The obstacles, however, seem impossible to overcome. Marriage between a royal and a commoner is not recognized, not to mention that he is already legally bound to Katriona Bradshaw, who will do anything to keep her position as princess. And there's even more to worry about. Due to an uncommonly harsh winter, the people of Athelia have been suffering from inflated food prices, and are getting irritated at supporting the small, elite group of aristocrats. An uprising in a neighboring country only adds fuel to the fire. Can Kat and Edward finally get a happily-ever-after?

When Kat accidentally rips apart an old picture book, she's magically transported into the world of Cinderella--as Katriona, one of the ugly stepsisters! Life turns upside down now that she's a highborn lady and must learn how to survive the social season, including how to get through the door in a huge metal hoop skirt. To get back, she'll have to complete the story, right to the end of happily ever after. But the odds are huge: the other stepsister is drop-dead gorgeous, the fairy godmother is nowhere to be found, and the prince, despite being insanely hot, openly dislikes balls. Can she ever return to the modern world?
