An age-gap, spicy romance about power, obsession, and finding true love in a nontraditional fairy tale

Where do I begin?

Oh. Yeah.

Once upon a time.

Isn't that how all good fairy tales start?

And Maximo and I, we were definitely a fairy tale.

Not the cleaned-up, sanitized ones where life's problems were solved with a smile and a song. We were the old-school kind. The tales packed with greed, violence, and tragic beginnings.

Okay, so maybe we weren't a traditional fairy tale. After all, Maximo was more villain than prince. He was scarily sexy. Devilishly charming. Controlling, possessive, and dangerous.

He gave me the world. In exchange, I gave him what he wanted most.

Me. All of me.

I was his little dove.

And heaven help anyone who tried to free me from my gilded cage.
