A Contemporary Sapphic Cinderella
The Sapphic Fairy Tales Series, Book 2
By Cara Malone
A firefighter sweeps her dream girl off her feet in this contemporary Cinderella story.
Cynthia “Cyn” Robinson has only ever wanted three things: her stepmother’s approval, to save lives as a firefighter, and the attention of her long-time crush, Marigold Grimm.
The problems? Her stepmother would rather she be like girly-girl Marigold than be with her, there’s a serial arsonist bent on watching Grimm Falls burn, and Marigold is so far out of Cyn’s league it’d be laughable if it wasn’t so heartbreaking.
But one night when the firebug makes Marigold’s sprawling estate his next target, Cyn sweeps in to extinguish the blaze and carry Marigold out of the fiery building in a tiny silk negligee.
The whole town celebrates her bravery – even her stepmother applauds – and there’s more than one type of spark flying as Marigold finally notices Cyn. It looks like she’s going to get the girl, win over her stepmother, and live happily ever after… until the arsonist strikes again, closer to home than ever and threatening to send it all up in flames.
