Plot Summary of The Cinderella Scandal
"Tina Alexander had already accepted the fact that she would be alone and working for her parent's bakery for the rest of her life. She was the baby of the family of course, but mostly because no man would ever want to marry into her family! Her father was a very demanding man who wanted to maintain control over all three daughters. But that was all before Reid Danforth moves in next door.

Reid rented the offices next door to the Alexander bakery for his father's senate campaign and quickly fell for the youngest Alexander daughter Tina. At first, Tina was able to put off Reid, but that was before he kissed her. Tina knows that a prominent Danforth would never really be interested in her and knows that she has to put their affair to an end, if only she could convince Reid of that.
