after isabell’s father passed away when she was just twelve years old, her cruel and jealous step-mother reduced her to a life of servitude. doomed to forever live in her step-sisters’ shadow, isabell never expected a distant relative to show up at her doorstep, promising her a chance at a better life with a noble title. the only catch? she has to attend the king’s ball and meet prince tristan, who just so happens to be in need of a bride before reaching his twenty-first birthday. the only problem? she has no intention of becoming a princess, and tristan has no interest in love. a masked ball. two hundred thirty-six ladies. four men all posing as the prince. a servant boy with a regal sense of charm. one woman caught between it all. can isabell win the freedom she’s always longed for, or will she find a way to win the prince’s heart?dr
