About this series
A homeless outcast, stealing for survival and running from her past. Could returning home be her biggest mistake?
Gut-punched to a life on the streets, Cara earnt her turf by working with street gangs. When two sisters fight her for ownership, she's derailed by a past best forgotten. Tortured memories of family, home, and the abuse she abandoned.
When the Mayor plans to bulldoze her neighbourhood, Cara's nimble fingers are her best tools for revenge. Picking pockets is child's play, but as her past creeps into her present, can she control her sanity and get the job done?
Yet, she's oblivious to the biggest problem awaiting her. The Mayor's charismatic son, who has an appetite for risk, extravagance, and women. With the odds stacked against her, and her own safety put in jeopardy, can Cara escape the ballroom before time runs out?
If you love sexy, opposites attract, lesbian romance intertwined with an enticing mystery and found family drama, you'll love this contemporary retelling of Cinderella.
