Everyone laughed like they thought he was making a fae joke as one of the café’s hired actors. But Kate’s smile dropped. She knew he wasn’t joking at all. “Who is this other author you have listed at the bottom where it says, ‘Written with help from C. Prince?’” a journalist stood to ask Kate. Kate yanked her gaze from Cress. “I made that up,” she decided, and Cress spat his milk. “I wrote the book by myself.”
