Lottie can't remember the last time she believed in happily-ever-afters. For her, life as Cinderella's stepsister and focusing on finding a rich nobleman to marry is the only life she's ever known-or so she thought. After the world starts to crumble around her and other people begin to blink in and out of focus, Lottie questions everything she's worked toward for years. Is a loveless marriage with a rich duke something she can truly live with? Finding herself lost in a forest, she stumbles across a group of people who are lost in a meddling woman's world-and Carson, a friend from a life she doesn't remember. After kissing a beast, and discovering her old diary, Lottie begins to remember a life she didn't know she had forgotten. Somewhere among the chaos, Carson and Lottie open their hearts to the connection that's always existed between them, and hope reshapes their views on love. But is that enough to get them home? Every tale has an ending... but will this one be the happily-ever-after they've longed for? Or will a darkness follow them home...
