Ivy
I consider myself reasonable, rational, and logical. Being the president's daughter means I'm the American Sweetheart with the eyes of the world on my every move and the legacy of a famous last name to uphold. There's no room for errors.
When me and my friends leave for a three week theater retreat in Ireland, we have no idea of the fairy tale bullshit waiting for us on the other side of the Atlantic. The four of us have been close for years, and even if the lines of our friendship were blurred from the start, three weeks away from the pressures of reality can change everything.
Except my parents drop a bomb on us before we leave, and suddenly, every plan I'd ever had disappears into smoke. They need a political success, and that means I'll have to marry my arch-nemesis, Lex Fairfax, for publicity. I hate him so much, it burns, and that's just the start of my twisted fairy tale.
Lex
Yeah, everyone knows me. Lex Fairfax — delinquent son of the Vice President and the American screwup the public loves to hate. I don't care what the media prints about me, and I never have.
I just need to get through this retreat without my girlfriend finding out about my new engagement...or my fiancée finding out about my past with her boyfriend...or any of them finding out exactly how I feel about Ivy Washington.
But things in Ireland take a turn for the screwed up and unbelievable. It sounds like something ripped from a nightmare, but when it happens to me and my friends, I'm forced to reconcile what I know about my reality with what the legends say exists out in the ancient fairy tale woods.
