One unforgettable night... and a woman who changed everything. I had buried my heart alongside the people I'd loved most. After losing my parents and my fiancée, I stopped believing in fairy tales, soulmates, and happily ever afters. Work became my refuge, and I convinced myself that was enough. Then I met a breathtaking stranger at the Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball. For one perfect night, Elaina "e;Elle"e; Darien made me forget my grief. She challenged me, tempted me, and awakened feelings I'd thought were gone forever. But by morning, she had disappeared without a word, leaving behind nothing but a single crystal-adorned shoe... and an obsession I couldn't ignore. Finding Elle was only the beginning. The more I uncovered about the burdens she'd been carrying, the more determined I became to stand beside her. But Elle had spent her entire life fighting her own battles, and convincing her she didn't have to face them alone might prove harder than finding the woman who'd vanished into the night.
