What if Cinderella didn’t want the prince? What if she wanted his man-at-arms?

Elara’s world collapsed with the death of her father, and while things are significantly worse a year later, Elara refuses to be a charity case or burden on anyone. With her stepmother still trapped in her grief, and property taxes coming due, Elara is lacking money and options, until a solution comes from her childhood crush.

As his man-at-arms, Gideon is dedicated to protecting the prince. Dancing at the prince's birthday ball is the last thing he wants to do, no matter the prince's complaints about his lack of fun. But when the prince convinces his parents that Gideon needs to dance at the ball, Gideon sets aside his annoyance as he sees a chance to help his childhood best friend.

Gideon knows Elara won't take his charity, but telling her he needs dance lessons for the ball, and letting her believe the money he has to pay her comes from the crown, not his salary, helps her dire circumstances while not hurting her pride. And he won't waste the chance to show her they could be more than old friends.

But when Elara discovers Gideon's lie, her feelings of betrayal force her to decide what's more important: protecting her pride, or loving Gideon.

What if Cinderella didn’t want the prince? What if she wanted his man-at-arms?

Elara’s world collapsed with the death of her father, and a year later, things have worsened. Grief still traps her stepmother while Elara struggles to keep a roof over her family’s head. With property taxes coming due, and Elara’s savings not making the mark, a solution comes from her childhood crush.

Being the prince’s man-at-arms is an honor, even when the prince is more annoying than Gideon can fathom. But when the prince convinces the king and queen that Gideon needs to dance at the upcoming ball, and needs dance lessons, Gideon goes from annoyed to desperate. That desperation leads him to his original dance teacher, his childhood best friend.

When Gideon tells Elara the royal family will pay her for these dance lessons, Elara can’t say no. But when the true source of that payment comes to light, Elara must decide if her pride is worth more than love.
