Ella Duvaux used to be called Cinder-ella by her stepmother.  She is a strong willed woman, happy to be left alone with her sexy romance novels.  She spends her days supervising the household staff and balancing financial accounts.  Ella secretly longs for a man who wants to play sexy games of submission.  She fantasizes about a man known only as the Shadow Knight, a mysterious jouster who wins all the kingdom’s tournaments.  When she learns that her stepsisters want her to marry the Prince, Ella is appalled.  The Prince is an arrogant fop who holds no interest for Ella.  Will Ella ever meet her Shadow Knight?

The kingdom is almost bankrupt and the King orders his son to marry a woman with a large dowry.  Prince Giles’ uncle, Grand Duke Perrin, wants him to marry King Alphonse’s niece, a woman who disappeared years before.  Perrin plans to find her and use her as a pawn to control two kingdoms.  Giles only has eyes for Ella.  He recognizes her desire for submission and wants to be the one to dominate her.  Giles has a secret, however, that could get in the way of his desires.  He lives a double life.  Giles is really the Shadow Knight.  There are forces at work trying to take over his kingdom.  Giles knows who is behind it, but he has to be careful.  His disguise helps him get the proof he needs to bring down his enemy.  Ella can spoil all his careful planning.  Will Giles give in to his lust for Ella?

In the fourth book of the multi-authored Forever Wicked series, Elayne S. Venton retells the Cinderella story with a sexy new twist.  Ella knows what she wants and will not settle when she agrees to marry a man.  The Prince seems like the last person Ella wants to be tied to for the rest of her life.  Giles is much more than a dandy and cannot wait to prove that to Ella.  Kingdom politics have a nasty way of destroying the best plans.  Ms. Venton gives the reader a naughty story with lots of hot sex and unexpected humorous plot twists to keep the action jumping.  Will Ella ever get her Prince Charming?
