Ella Ashbourne didn't go to the royal ball to catch a prince. She just wanted one night of freedom.
Tired of scrubbing floors and watching life pass by, Ella snuck into the palace using a borrowed dress, determined to pretend she belonged in finery, if only for a few hours. But one unexpected kiss with the wickedly charming Prince Edward shattered her plan and left her entire world tilted off its axis.
When she flees the ballroom before giving her name—leaving behind a single borrowed shoe—the Prince launches a kingdom-wide search for the mystery woman who treated him like an actual person, not a title. Found and brought to the palace, Ella is suddenly the celebrated future princess.
Now, trapped in a luxurious suite and surrounded by suffocating royal protocol, Ella realizes she’s trading one cage of obligation for another made of gold. Prince Edward believes he loves the mysterious beauty who danced with him, but the real Ella is terrified of him discovering the truth: The girl he chose was merely a performance.
As the court tries to remake her into who they think she should be, Ella must choose: continue the perfect fairy tale performance, or risk losing everything by admitting that After the Slipper Fits, her real struggles are only just beginning.
