Derby King: A Billionaire Cinderella Romance

One night was never going to be enough.

Brittany knows exactly where she belongs during Derby season -- behind the scenes, out of sight, making magic for people who will never remember her name. Until she steps too close to the edge of a world she was never meant to touch.

From a private suite overlooking the Ohio River, fireworks explode across the sky  … and Ian Calloway sees her. He's immediately intrigued.

Billionaire. Power broker. The man everyone wants a piece of.

He’s never chased anything he couldn’t have.

Until her.

Because Brittany doesn’t play the game.

Doesn’t want his money.

Doesn’t belong in his world.

Which only makes him want her more.

As the countdown to the Derby begins, their connection ignites into something neither of them can control. It's fast, consuming, and dangerously public.

But fairytales don’t come easy in a world built on power and privilege…

And falling for a man like Ian Calloway might cost Brittany far more than her heart.
