Plot Summary of The Cinderella Deal
"It started out as a weekend of playing his fiance. Suddenly, storyteller and would-be artist Daisy Flattery finds herself married to the man! And not only is Linc Blaise her exact opposite, he doesn't approve of a single thing about her. But she promised, and soon it becomes so important to be what Linc wants. Linc discovers, almost too late, that he wants her the way she was."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar
