Kara has always dreamed of her own happily-ever-after. Buying a crumbling castle and restoring it sounds like the perfect fairy tale beginning, until reality turns her into a modern-day Cinderella instead of a princess. Even her hopes for a Prince Charming shatter like a glass slipper when she falls for her employee: an infuriatingly attractive historian, Sean, who would rather feed her to a dragon than reciprocate her feelings. And as if things couldn't get any worse, he moves right next door!

Since all fairy tale trials come in threes, Kara braces for the inevitable. Just as the bank threatens to seize the castle, Ethan-a charming new love interest-appears while Sean's icy exterior begins to thaw. How can she focus on saving the castle from the greedy bank's snare when her heart is split between Sean and Ethan?

The one thing Kara has learned from fairy tales is that a ball solves it all. So, to reveal everyone's true intentions, she plans a masquerade.
