A Different Cinderella

"While I'm away, you must look after your mother and sisters. You're the man of the house while I'm gone." Before his death, Elliot McKinley's father told him to look after his Stepmother and Stepsisters. He's done so for the past 12 years, but even his best friend Freda can see how he's being mistreated. He can't just leave them, not when he promised his father. But maybe a royal ball will start changing things for the better? Princess Thea has a head for politics while Prince Caelen is ruled by his heart and pride. She sees that a Marriage Ball is needed to replace spouses for the continuation of the kingdom; it's only logical even if her brother doesn't like the idea. She never expected to meet Elliot or feel about him the way she does. A gender-swapped Cinderella story with lovable characters and witty connections.
