Cinders

A firefighter sweeps her dream girl off her feet in this contemporary Cinderella story. Cynthia "e;Cyn"e; Robinson has three dreams: earn her stepmother's approval, save lives as a firefighter, and win the heart of her longtime crush, Marigold Grimm. Unfortunately, none of them seem within reach. Her stepmother wants her to be more like Marigold—not with her. Marigold, the wealthy golden girl of Grimm Falls, barely knows Cyn exists. And someone is setting fires around town, threatening everything Cyn has worked for. When a blaze breaks out at Marigold's family estate, Cyn charges in without hesitation—and carries Marigold out of the inferno like something out of a fairy tale. Now Marigold is looking at her differently. The sparks between them are undeniable. But as the arsonist escalates and Cyn's home life grows more suffocating, she has to face the truth: love, family, and belonging might all slip through her fingers. A fierce, romantic Cinderella retelling with a firefighter twist, Cinders is a sapphic story about bravery, desire, and writing your own ending.
