Beneath the Hazel Tree is a why choose Cinderella retelling with a twist…or three.
Ellandra
All I’ve ever wanted is love. I had my father’s love after my mother died, until he was gone, too. I hoped my stepmother and her sons would be my family. Instead, they became my wardens. As the years go by, I spend my days caring for my stepmother and my childhood home, dreaming of escape. Somewhere, beyond the walls of this estate, is the love I yearn for…if only I was free to find it.
Cael
For years, I’ve held myself back from my stepsister. As the head of the family, she was my responsibility. I should have married her off, but I couldn’t bring myself to allow suitors to court her. I told myself that none of them were right. None of them would protect her like I would. But I was wrong.
Ewan
I watched my little sparrow for a long time. I was her shadow and her guard, keeping her safe from the dangers of the world. Yet danger found her anyway.
To protect her, there was nothing I wouldn’t do. No one I wouldn’t kill.
Ella belonged to me, even if she didn’t realize it yet. Now, it’s time for me to take what’s mine, regardless of the consequences.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
