[Not Quite the Fairy Tale 07] • Sleeping Beauty

Aurora Stephenson is the ultimate Lady, the picture of grace and perfection. She’s also an effing mess.

Her first fiancé cheated on her with just about anything, and she’d told herself that it was just him – that it was in his nature, but now Aiden Archer is happily married, and devoted to his wife. Her second fiancé dropped her like an old shoe at the first argument, and weeks later, Dane de Luz was professing his undying love for another girl.

As much as it stings, she’s learnt that the problem wasn’t them – it’s her. She’s distant, detached, and consequently, no one thinks she has a heart.

They’re wrong.

She’s passionate, determined, and loving, too. For years, she’s cared for, cared about one person beyond anyone else.

Nevermind the fact that King Rupert isn’t exactly what one would call alive.

One hundred years. For one hundred years, he’s slept, cryogenized, until she woke him.

They believed he’d done this to himself voluntarily, to avoid some sort of plague. Let them think so. Better than to admit that he’d earnt his doom by being stupid enough to offend a Fay.
