Books like A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James
Miss Kate Daltry doesn't believe in fairy tales or happily ever after. Forced to attend a ball, she meets a prince - and immediately decides he's anything but charming. The clash of wits and wills ensues, but Kate knows her irresistible attraction will lead nowhere. Gabriel, a prince who is promised to another woman, is reluctant to marry a princess but doesn't love her. Obviously, he should be wooing his bride-to-be, not the witty, impoverished beauty who refuses to fawn over him. The story takes an unexpected turn when Kate and Gabriel's destinies are conspired against, and a kiss at the stroke of midnight changes everything.
