Cold Hearted-Villains, Book 8

This was supposed to be her happily ever after...

ItΓÇÖs a familiar tale: A kind and beautiful young girl, reeling from loss. A doting father, frantic to bring a motherΓÇÖs love back into his daughterΓÇÖs life. And the selfish, cruel woman who insinuates herself into that familyΓÇöa woman so unfeeling, so cold hearted, that when her new husband dies, she makes the girl a servant in her own home.

But who is that evil stepmother, that icy lady of the house? How did she become so closed off that, in the face of a childΓÇÖs grief, she thought only to seek wealth and power for herself and her abhorrent daughters? Before that fateful ball, before the glass slipper and the prince, there was another storyΓÇöa story of love and grief, of hope and of dreams dashed. It is the story of Lady Tremaine.

Even the coldest of villains are sometimes wives and mothers, women who loved and lost and hoped for
something grander for their lives . . . once upon a dream.

The latest novel in Serena ValentinoΓÇÖs deliciously devious Villains series introduces the most famed and hated wicked stepmother of them allΓÇöbut turns everything you know about her on its head.
