Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling

This is a charming novella set in Regency England, but in an alternative universe where fairy magic exists. Those with fairy blood have silver grey eyes and are viewed as wicked by the superstitious populace. Polite society just dislikes them.
Our heroine lost her silver-eyed mother at the age of seven. Her gentleman father, raised her as if she were a son, so she has expertise in running the family estate.
When he dies, his entailed estate goes to a distant relative with no land-owning experience. Unfortunately, the new owner won't take the advice of a mere woman.
So our heroine loses her place in society and becomes a dowdy “Cinderella”, in her own home, while watching her beloved estate being run into the ground.
Although the story is reminiscent of Cinderella, the angst of Miss Wychwood seeing how bleak her future may be is very well done.
The ending is delightful and definitely worth a read.
