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.
