Something Like A Fairy Godfather

Love isn’t something Avery wants to deal with right now. Stuck painting the royal palace walls to pay rent and barely evading a man he’s loathed all his life, Avery runs into his old friend, James, from university. James, however, turns out to be royalty and he needs Avery’s help with some princely troubles. Avery despises the traditional hierarchy his nation follows, believing it archaic in these modern times. As Avery's own family secrets tangle with those of the rest of court, a slew of new dangers arrives with them. Certainly not a time for love. Such feelings must remain buried deep. And he certainly couldn’t be gay. But then, why does the prince’s bodyguard keep catching his eye. Avery must rely on new friends to navigate the trenches of this highborn battlefield, finding unexpected love along the way. This is a modern retelling of the classic Cinderella tale, from the perspective of the fairy godfather.
