Cinderella on His Doorstep

Once upon a time there was a girl who shied away from the limelight…. Until she arrived at Château de Belles Fleurs and became the star of her own real-life fairy tale…. Scouting film locations for her director father was supposed to be routine. Instead, an overgrown estate pulls her into an enchanted world of neglected vineyards.

Dana is stunned when the gorgeous château owner, Alex Martin, notices her. Facing a race against back taxes, the rugged agricultural engineer is clearing the wilderness alone.

Camping out in the turret bedroom soon leads to late-night suppers of sweet Layon wine by candlelight. Glass slippers would never survive the thorny undergrowth, but she is ready to tackle eighty years of briars alongside him.

Alex may picture a delicate princess safely tucked in a tower, but Dana is determined to match him haul for haul under the summer sun. She might not have a fairy godmother but she'll show Alex that there's a confident, vibrant woman waiting to burst out of Dana Lofgren!
