The Anti-Cinderella Gets Crowned: The Anti-Cinderella Chronicles, #4

By Tawdra Kandle

It's a big day for Britain's Royal Family . . .

It's weird to be part of a family where the death of a beloved member means a huge international ceremony as the heir officially takes over.

It's even weirder when a new monarch means big changes for my own little family.

I thought that after being a duchess and princess-by-marriage for over five years, I was ready for anything that came my way. But I wasn't prepared to lose our Queen, our beloved Granny–and I definitely didn't expect how my world would turn upside down when the King hints at drastic shifts in how the family works.

On Coronation Day, I'm filled with apprehension and worry about the future. Nicky and I have some major decisions to make . . . and those choices could mean this Anti-Cinderella's world is about to turn upside down.

CHAPTER 1

Y our Royal Highness, your car is scheduled to arrive in forty-five minutes. Is there anything I can do for you in the meantime?

I lifted my eyes to the mirror of the dressing table where I sat and met the gaze of the man who stood in the open doorway. He wore a morning suit and looked very dapper, I thought absently. He also looked as though he was waiting for a response from me.

I straightened, squaring my shoulders, and turned carefully to face the door.

Thank you. I’m fine. I don’t need anything. I paused. You’ll let me know when I should go downstairs for the car? Or should I just plan to be there in forty-five minutes? Out of habit, I
