A stand-alone, hot small-town rom-com take on Cinderella, filled with heart, heat, and secret baby/second chance/royal billionaire romance fun…

Cinda

As a single mom, I’m not looking for Prince Charming. The last time I fell for a handsome, sophisticated, wealthy guy, he left me at the worst possible time without a look backward or even a word of explanation. He did leave me with a lovely parting gift, though…which arrived nine months later. 

With no way to reach him, I picked up the pieces of that shattered glass slipper and moved on. Now I’m running my own business—the Fairy Godmother Cleaning Agency. My hands—and all my hours—are more than full managing my employees (including my two hapless stepsisters) and keeping my four-year-old son happy, healthy, fed, and clothed. 

It’s not easy doing it all on my own, but I have zero interest in a new relationship. And who has the time? My high society clients expect their Eastport Bay, Rhode Island mansions to be sparkling—on schedule—come hell, high water, or hurricane. So when a flu epidemic sweeps through my agency the day before the royal family of Aubernesse is to arrive in Eastport Bay, I put on a uniform and pick up the slack, working furiously to make sure their gorgeous vacation home is immaculate and ready for the elaborate ball they’re planning to hold.

I’m back in Eastport Bay for the first time in five years—and not thrilled to be here. There’s a reason I’ve stayed away so long. The place lost its magic for me long ago—the night the only girl I’ve ever loved proved beyond a shadow of a doubt she didn’t feel the same. 

But this trip is nonnegotiable, a matter of duty. I’m planning to fly in, attend the ridiculous ball my mother is so insistent upon, then get back to my life in Europe as quickly as possible. 

That is until I arrive at the family estate early and catch the cleaning crew still at work. And get a look at the woman beneath that coating of dust, ash, and spiderwebs….
