An invitation to the Ashe Ball - the event of the season - is coveted by every society matron for her daughter, for it is at this ball that the Ashe heir traditionally announces his future bride.  Indeed this happened five years earlier, when Ella Cynders stood in for her look-alike companion who used the occasion to elope with an ineligible younger son.  Ella was dressed in a gossamer gown with fairy wings (created and sewn expertly by herself) and Julian Ashe was dressed as a Knight Templar.  They danced and talked and fell in love instantly.  But just before the betrothal announcement her deception was discovered, and Ella fled in panic without even telling Julian her name.  For five long years Julian tried to track her down and now this year's ball will be the moment of truth:  Julian must choose a bride and he's hoping that she will appear. Fairy godmothers abound in many sizes and ages, all focused on making that happen.  It is up to you, dear Reader, to find out for yourself if they succeed.  You won't be sorry!
