Publisher Description
A small-town maid who is trying to live her dream. A playboy billionaire who needs a fake girlfriend. And a holiday gala that is about to make things complicated.
Ella Foster takes a job as a maid for a billionaire family. Her real goal – to finish her degree and start her own design firm. She hasn't had it easy after the death of her father. Unlike her stepsisters, Ella has had to work for everything. But she's determined to make her dreams come true. There's just one small hiccup…the priceless vase she broke while cleaning the house of the richest family in town.
Chase Marino has never wanted for anything. While the world sees him as the playboy grandson of one of the most famous shoe designers in the world, he secretly wants to explore his own design dreams. He's working on a plan to do just that once he takes over the family's company. That is until his father gives him an ultimatum. Settle down and find a girlfriend or lose his birthright as CEO of the company. And to make matters worse, he has less than four weeks to do it.
Chase gives Ella an offer she can't refuse – be his fake girlfriend for a month and he'll hide the fact that she destroyed his mother's favorite vase.
Ella's determined to put up with the annoying Chase Marino so that her dreams aren't dashed, but she soon learns there's more to him than the tainted image she sees online. Could he be more prince charming than spoiled playboy? And can Chase keep himself from falling for the fairytale-loving woman who seems so familiar to him?

Fun and Inventive Cinderella Retelling
A fun and inventive Cinderella retelling. I really enjoyed this story, both main characters were like-able pretty much from the start. There was a nice balance of all the feels, steam, and comedic elements. All the the secondary characters helped propel the story forward. One of my favorite parts was how the author handled the shoe element of the story because let’s be honest, it can’t be a true Cinderella retelling if it doesn’t involve shoes. True to this author’s writing style, characters from the previous book made an appearance as well as meeting new citizens of Storyview Falls who I’m sure we will see again in the future.
Going down memory lane
There has to be an alternative, solution so that Chase has to change his ways before he can be part ownership. I love when each character has a back story. As more I get into this story, Ella and Chase are incredibly growing closer, as the gala approaches.
