Publisher's Synopsis
Evil stepmother, dreadful stepsisters, and a dad who wants to forget. Oriana Swift's life has all the makings of a Cinderella story but with one exception: there is no Prince Charming waiting for her at a ball, no glass slipper to fit her foot. All there is, is the inheritance her mom left her, which includes an apartment lease and enough money to start a new life. And that's exactly what she does. Moving to the town where her mom grew up, Oriana gets a job at a cafe and continues her dancing at the same studio her mother studied, now owned by her mom's friend. Everything seemed to be going great, until she meets Michael, whose secret will change her life forever. Michael Deronda isn't a normal guy. He has a secret, but even with it, he finds himself completely bored with life. Every day he has girls flirting with him, throwing themselves at him and he finds no interest in any of them, unlike his brothers. But when he walks past the dance studio one day, movement in the window catches his eye and all that changes. The woman on the other side of the glass is unbelievable. The fire that ignited within her compels him to stay and watch. Little does he know that their meeting will unintentionally put her in danger and cause him to reveal his secrets. But what will Oriana think when she finds out the truth about who and what he really is?"
