Hey guys!
Do you love Bridgerton, historical romance, and have a penchant for fairy tale retellings?

Luring the spoiled and rather irritating daughter of a formidable countess to serve in the Underworld as a replacement is a terrible idea.
But, for some reason, Hawthorne can't resist her.
I'd love to hear what you think :)
