Cinderella and the Colonel (Timeless Fairy Tales Book 3)

Cinderella is no longer the girl who lost a glass slipper; she is a duchess clutching at the remnants of a shattered life. Living in a nation crippled by a hostile takeover, she works in secret to keep her estate afloat while facing crushing taxes. With her lands on the brink of ruin and time running out, she is forced to make impossible sacrifices to protect those who depend on her.

Enter Colonel Friedrich, a debonair officer from the very military force occupying her home. He is charming, infuriatingly persistent, and impossible to ignore. As he weaves himself into her daily life with witty banter and shameless flirting, Cinderella must determine if his intentions are genuine or if he is a master of deception. Beneath his playful exterior, a deeper mystery simmers, hinting that he may be the key to liberating her people.

This enchanting magical retelling blends high-stakes political intrigue with a slow-burn, clean romance. It is the perfect escape for readers who crave the enemies-to-lovers trope infused with a dash of fairy tale whimsy. Will this unlikely pair find a way to bridge the divide between their kingdoms, or will the bitterness of war tear them apart forever?
