In the years since her husband King Charming boarded a pirate ship to βfind himselfβ, Queen Ella has ruled alone. Romantic love? Itβs a girlish emotion. These days, her only confidant is her steward, Sebastian.
Five years is a long time to forego sexual pleasures. Sheβs the queen, after all..shouldnβt she be allowed a few indulgences? A masquerade is just the ticket to find the fulfillment Charming never gave her. With Sebastianβs encouragementβand a little help from a fairy godmotherβElla prepares to make some magic.
The first masked stranger she dallies with gives her a taste of what sheβs been craving. And itβs just not enough. A second ball follows. A
third. Each oneβand each anonymous manβsends her to newheights of sexual pleasure. And reawakens the notion that maybe, just maybe, love does not always lead to pain.
Her indiscretions have not gone unnoticed. As her step-family makes a move to take over the throne, Ella has nowhere to turn, no one to trustβ¦except the men behind the masksβ¦
