Alicia Forkes has a few things to do in order to forget her troubles. One: visit a foreign country. Two: meet a hot stranger. Three: Have the hottest night of her life with a sexy stranger and bolt. Check, check, and check. Now she can get back to enjoying the rest of her trip. But why is her passport photo on every news channel, and why is she expected to appear before the Prince?
Turns out that the hot stranger she met? Yeah, he’s not just any stranger – he’s Prince Leo of Randovia. And, actually, he’s not a stranger at all – turns out Prince Leo is the same Leo who broke her teenage heart ten years ago.
Leo can’t believe that after all these years, he’s finally found Alicia again…and she doesn’t want anything to do with him. She may not be Cinderella – she shows up to his office cursing him to hell and back, accusing him of decade-old wrongdoings – but he’s determined to prove that he’s the prince for her.
Even if it means letting her go.
Each book in the Modern Fairytales series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

"I love a good fairytale and this pressed all the charming buttons. There was palace intrigue, a fairy godmother who was also the evil stepmother (what a great touch), and a 'happily ever after' finale which was over-the-top fantastic. Sweet and spicy in the perfect balance." -Diane @ Goodreads
"I love a good story that captivates me and makes me feel as if I'm a part of it. If you're looking for a story to delve into that you won't want to put down and can finish in a few hours or even in a day, I highly recommend this one!" -Heather @ NetGalley
"This second chance is sweet with an unexpected zing..." -Kylie @ Goodreads
"I loved this from the beginning, enraptured by the illusive bucket list and charmed by the little pieces from famous fairy tales-perfect for a stormy day and a hot mug of cocoa or tall glass of wine. I know it is one that I will read again, and will absolutely recommend to my book club!" -Rachel @ NetGalley

* First-time author for me
So I enjoy modern retailing of fairytales- they are, so fun to read. But I am not a big fan of second chance stories. They have to be done just right for me to enjoy them. This one is caught somewhere in the middle. I liked the fairytale part not so much the second cha ...more
