A story inspired by Cinderella... When Raoul Montgomery is summoned back to Sweetwater Close, he has no idea what awaits him: a mother on death's door, a father lost in self-pity, and a catastrophic debt that looms over them all. For the first time in his life, Raoul must step up, find a job, and restore his family's honour. As he grapples with the mess his father created, Raoul uncovers more than he expected: a promising career, a newfound sense of purpose, and the rekindling of a long-buried friendship. Lucious Ballantyne, the boy Raoul has loved since childhood, is now a man-one Raoul turns to in his time of need. But could their connection be something more than friendship?
