What happens when the glass slippers pinch Cinderella's toes? When Jaine Andersen proposes a new marketing role to the local amusement park, general manager Dylan Callahan charms her into filling Cinderella’s glass slippers for the summer. Her reign transforms Jaine’s ordinary life into chaos that would bewilder a fairy godmother. Secretly dating her bad boy boss, running wedding errands for her ungrateful sisters, and defending herself from the park’s resident villain means Jaine needs lots more than a comfy pair of shoes to restore order in her kingdom. First in the Storybook Valley series, a blend of sweet romance, chick lit, and fairy tale fun.

Jaine Andersen couldn’t stop staring at the framed poster of Cinderella
outside the castle. Cylindrical towers and turrets ascended into the sapphire
sky, lofty mountains rising in the background. Her hand poised in an elegant
wave, Cinderella beamed toward the camera. Ornate script flowed across the
right side of the glossy photograph.
“Follow your heart, dream big, and you will find the magic.”
“Okay, Jaine, time to find the magic,” she mumbled, shifting in her seat.
“Interesting. What magic are you hoping to find?” a masculine voice asked behind her.
The kind that erases someone’s memory and lets you start over? Nice going, Jaine.
“Okay, Jaine, time to find the magic,” she mumbled, shifting in her seat.
“Interesting. What magic are you hoping to find?” a masculine voice asked behind her.
The kind that erases someone’s memory and lets you start over? Nice going, Jaine.
Squirming, Jaine clutched the black leather portfolio case in her lap as
Dylan Callahan closed his office door. He sat down at a battered desk strewn
with papers, her eyes tracking his every movement. Forget Cinderella’s stirring
quote. Now Jaine couldn’t tear her gaze off the hot guy conducting her
interview. The blond hair ruffled across his forehead made him resemble a
Venice Beach surfer, not the general manager of a family theme park.
Winter sports seemed his thing though, considering the posters flanking
Cinderella. In one, a skier whipped down a powdery slope while the other showed
a snowboarder in mid-air. Inspirational words stretched across the bottom of
each print: Goal-Setting for the skier and Persistence for the snowboarder.
To nail this interview, Jaine needed to demonstrate her prowess in both
areas. And show that she wasn’t some weirdo who talked to herself.
She recovered her voice. “Actually, I’m hoping to help your company find
some marketing magic. Uh, thank you for inviting me in.” Jaine toed her navy
blue dress shoes into the industrial carpet, hoping he didn’t notice her
fidgeting. When the receptionist had escorted her into the office to wait, she
hadn’t expected such a good-looking man to join her.
Focus, Jaine. Focus.
