The Midnight Prince
Angie Grigaliunas
A fae prince and his half-human ex discover their breakup was a lie — with days left before he must choose a bride.
Description
A bitter prince. A rejected servant. A revelation that could change everything. When Prince Kirran of the autumn fey returns home from war, all he wants is food, drink, and sleep. But with his older brothers dead, he's now the only heir - and he needs a wife. As soon as possible. Which wouldn't be a problem, except that he's not over the girl who shattered his heart seven years ago. Half-human Alia avoids her noble stepfamily by living among the fey king's servants. Her life of anonymity serves her well and helps her forget how Kirran betrayed her - that is, until they're thrust back into each other's lives. Their hostile reunion leaves both reeling - until they realize their memories of their breakup don't match, and neither is lying. With mere days before Kirran has to choose a bride, they must put aside their hurts and fight to uncover the truth. And in the process, maybe, just maybe, they'll find a second chance to fight for each other. The Midnight Prince, a retelling of Cinderella, is part of Once Upon A Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairytale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.
