Synopsis

Scarlett’s life was anything but easy: raised in a family torn apart by mental illness, burdened with a mother who never wanted her and haunted by a stalker who wouldn’t leave her alone. Her only dream? To rescue horses, a dream she finally began to live when she adopted Franco, a hospice horse who offered her a glimpse of true happiness.

But as a sex worker navigating a dangerous world, Scarlett’s journey was far from over.

Following the murder of a fellow sex worker, Scarlett became politically active on behalf of sex worker rights. Her newfound confidence spurred her to build a relationship with an often-absent father, only to learn that he had terminal cancer.

Scarlett had always avoided having a boyfriend, believing it incompatible with her job. But then Thomas appeared, a former client who met her where she was. As Marco and Thomas proved that unconditional love existed and that family could be chosen, Scarlett created a new life for herself.

As Scarlett fought for herself, her horses and a new family, she discovered that the best kind of fairy tale was the one you never saw coming. Will Scarlett find the courage to claim a happily-ever-after she didn’t know she wanted?

For fans of stories about resilience, unexpected love and the strength of chosen family.

Back of Book Synopsis:
Part romance/erotica. Part family drama. All heart.

Years later, she wrangles with a manipulative mother, two mentally ill brothers, a nosy uncle, and a stalker determined to possess her. Happiness unveils itself the moment Scarlett adopts Franco, a retired horse in need of a second chance.

After refusing to help a colleague leave her pimp, Scarlett discovers the girl was murdered. Guilt and determination prompt her to become politically active. This newfound confidence inspires her to build a relationship with an often-absent father.
Scarlett has avoided having a boyfriend, believing it incompatible with her job. Then Thomas appears, a former client who meets her where she is. As Franco and Thomas prove that unconditional love exists and family can be chosen, Scarlett realizes she’s in control of her fairy tale.
