Lily never expected to go to the ball...nor to catch the eye of the guest of honour, Leo King. But when the fairytale ends at midnight, she's forced to return home to her stepmother and stepsisters. Fed up with being forced to cook and clean for them, she decides to accept a job as a maid in another castle...where at least she gets paid, plus time off.
Leo King wants nothing more than to marry his fated mate, the girl he met at the masquerade ball. But when she disappears at midnight, he has no choice: marry a stranger, or lose his company to his uncle.
A marriage of convenience to his mother's new maid seems like the perfect solution...until his search for his fated mate leads him to the last place he expected to find her...
