Modern Fairytale - Dana Gricken

Beneath the city of Toronto lies a secret, magical kingdom called Fairhaven-one Princess Esme finds dreadfully dull. She spends her days pulling pranks and ruining parties, much to her father, King Tedros's dismay. When she sabotages the anniversary ball, he finally takes the advice of the other families and kicks her out of Fairhaven to teach her a lesson.

Esme can return one day, but only if she follows a strict list her father has written. She must change her spoiled ways and help people, live on her own, and overcome her selfishness-among other goals. When she meets Noah Crawford, a humanitarian who works for a local philanthropy company, she thinks she's hit the jackpot. She plans to use him and work for his organization to convince her father she's changed...but things don't always go according to plan.

Soon, she discovers one of the Senators from Fairhaven wants to bring magic to Earth to rule over it, her boss at the humanitarian organization doesn't have the purest intentions, and old frenemies have wicked intentions for Fairhaven in her absence. On top of all that, she begins falling for Noah-and must decide if she ever wants to return to Fairhaven or if she's found a modern fairytale in the real world.
