One thing about me is that I will never turn a retelling down. Whether it’s a classic tale like Beauty and the Beast or an old novel I’ve never read, I’ll devour it like the wolf ate red riding hood’s grandma. And that’s the honest truth.

Jaya Rao heads to St. Rosetta’s Academy for one sole reason: revenge. For generations, her family and the Emersons have been enemies, going back to a Ruby that was stolen from them. This time the Emersons have gone too far- they’ve gone after the Raos’ reputation. Fleeing the rumors in India, Jaya and her sister Isha head to America, where Jaya is determined to break Grey Emerson’s heart. A perfect revenge plan.

But Grey has no idea what Jaya’s talking about. Haunted by his curse, a looming threat over his head since he was born, he knows he won’t make it past his eighteenth birthday, so why try to form any connections when they won’t last? The cheerful princess from India seems to be changing his mind. With time and rubies running out, the two royals must figure out how to reverse this and reconcile their differences.
