From a #1 New York Times bestseller, “the master of blending emotionally believable characters in realistic situations,” an opposites attract romance (Library Journal). Beth Davis’s fairy-tale days are over . . . or so the single mother of two thinks. She suddenly finds herself on a date with her very own Prince Charming, millionaire bachelor Todd Graham. He’s smart, sexy and very eligible—everything a woman could want in a man. But Beth’s a suburban mom, and approaching forty . . . She’s not sure if she’s Cinderella material. Todd was supposed to be raising money for charity, not auctioning off his heart, but he never expected to be so taken with his date. Something in Beth’s smile captures the Texas tycoon’s attention, and suddenly life as a bachelor seems less exciting than it used to. But they’re worlds apart, and building a life with Beth isn’t as simple as all that. Can these unlikely lovers find their courage—and the fairy-tale ending they deserve? “Mallery is an expert at writing about strong women, their friendships, and their romances.” —Booklist “Susan Mallery never disappoints.” —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Best is Yet to Come
