Igniting Cinder

A human bartender who loves piercings, tattoos, and everything pumpkin-flavored infiltrates a high fae court ball hoping to uncover the truth behind her father's death and avoid her sadistic stepmother and stepsisters. Instead she catches the eye of Prince Kaison, who urgently needs a fake fiancée and decides she'll do — but once their engagement is announced publicly, there's no taking it back for either of them. As the pretend arrangement forces them into each other's orbit, ink, charm, and forbidden desire slowly erode the wall of trust standing between a human bride and a fae prince.

Holly Roberds continues The Lost Girls series with a spicy Cinderella retelling built on a fake engagement that refuses to stay fake.
