Beth Cordova, a "missing princess" who has fled her wicked stepmother, lives in a strict commune where carnal pleasures are forbidden. Lonely and bereft of intimacy, she finds her world turned upside down when Stephen Trent arrives. His presence awakens Beth’s long‑suppressed sensuality, and together they risk breaking the commune’s rules. Yet the stepmother’s pursuit and the commune’s harsh stance put them both in peril. Obstacles abound as Beth wrestles with forbidden desire, danger, and the hope of a happy ending. The story reimagines Snow White in a contemporary setting of repression and longing.
