Bücher der Reihe Fractured Ever Afters

Fairy tales and reality are concepts so different from one another, they shouldn't exist in the same world. The story in which the maid defies her stepmother, goes to the ball, and dances with the prince isn't how real life works. For Della Lambert, real life is disappointing. Real life means working for her stepfather in exchange for her and her sister's freedom. Attend the party, steal their secrets, and lure the mafia prince in.Nico Corsetti isn't a prince though. He's the callous Underboss who hunts his prey until he's satisfied in his vengeance. When Della becomes his target, he won't stop chasing her, even when her betrayal demands her death. In the end, real life isn't a fairy tale and the prince is simply another controlling villain.

There's the story where the newly returned princess is cursed to sleep until given true love's kiss, and then there's the actual one. The one in which Aurora Corsetti, mafia princess, returns after being sent away as a child, to endure a new life of buried secrets, an arranged marriage, and a compassionless family.Rosen Carrigan, head soldier of the Corsetti family, is tasked with protecting the bratty, mafia princess, who insists on taunting him at every turn. Forbidden gets dangerous when a devious plot nearly takes her away from him, and like that silly fairy tale, Rosen won't let Aurora go. In the end, not all stories end with a kiss, but rather, in war.
