Cinderella Busted
Once
upon a time, in Jupiter Island, Florida . . .
Billionaire
developer, Rhett Buchanan, is forced to inspect a shipment of priceless trees
and meets the girl of his dreams instead. A bit jaded where women are
concerned—since most are gold diggers—Rhett falls head over heels for the
Jupiter Island socialite who only wants him, not his money. Except she isn't
the glamorous socialite she appears to be.
She's
the gardener . . .
Betting on Cinderella
Once
upon a time in Biloxi, Mississippi . . .
Garrett
Tucker inherits his grandfather's casino empire and steps into the reclusive
billionaire's shoes as the new "Prince of Vegas." Discovering
embezzlement in his newly purchased casino in Biloxi, Garrett goes in
undercover. His prime suspect? The new finance supervisor . . . a feisty
brunette who stole his heart at first sight.
Andi
Ryan moves to Biloxi to care for her godmother. Taking a job as finance
supervisor for the renovated Bayou Princess casino, she discovers someone is
skimming from the till. Andi starts her own investigation, worried she will be
blamed for the theft when the handsome new owner discovers her godmother likes
to gamble.
Industrial
espionage is afoot at the Bayou Princess, and Garrett and Andi are soon forced
to work as a team to prove her innocence and save the casino before it’s too
late.
This
swoonworthy modern-day fairy tale joins the other stories in the Cinderella
Romances series. Each provides a new opportunity to retell the classic fairy
tale, happily with returning characters to share in these adventures.
Par for Cinderella
Once
upon a time in Cedar Key, Florida . . .
Golf
resort developer Aidan Cross is at loose ends. Something feels missing from his
life, but that something isn't women. He has too many women chasing him now. To
confuse things even more, his yacht breaks down off-shore of his next project
site in Florida, and Aidan falls for his only competition in the small town—a
woman who wants nothing to do with him or his rakish charm.
Casey
Stuart is stuck living in Cypress Key, unwilling to abandon her uncle or the
golf course they manage together. She doesn't quite trust the stranger Aidan
who shows up in town looking for work, and she vows to steer clear of him and
the danger their intense chemistry provokes. Aidan’s stay is temporary, and
falling for him promises only heartbreak.
But
Casey needs Aidan’s help when she discovers Cypress Key’s mayor is making
underhanded business deals, and she ends up on the wrong side of the powerful
crook. Aidan steps in to rescue her, but secrets from his past threaten to
bogey their new-found affair.
This
swoonworthy modern-day fairy tale joins the other Cinderella stories in the
series. Each provides a new opportunity to retell the classic fairy tale,
happily with returning characters to share in these adventures.

Excerpt One:
from Book One:
Cinderella Busted
“Do you buy a
lot of plants here?” Buchanan suddenly asked.
Her head
snapped up from examining a bent gray frond. She swallowed. “Buy?”
“You must be
one of the nursery’s best customers as well as you know the stock and know your
way around here.” He gave her that slow, sexy smile again. “Are you buying
landscaping for business or pleasure?”
Oh good grief!
He thinks I’m a customer.
But why
wouldn’t he? Today, she was dressed like one. Surely, he could tell from their
conversation she worked here at the nursery.
Or not.
He waited for a
response. So that was why he had asked her to help him! She grinned. She
couldn’t help it. She felt like Cinderella masquerading as a princess at the
ball. Maybe she could just avoid answering his question altogether.
She guided him
to the end of the aisle, made the turn to the fifth row of trees, and aimed
their steps toward a cluster of Monterrey pines.
Buchanan put a
hand out to stop her. “I hope you’ll let me take you to dinner to thank you for
helping me, Lily.”
