Story one from the new romance series of the timeless Cinderella story reimagined where four girlfriends make a wish on a locket. They all wish they were beautiful, and look like the girls they've always wanted to be. The belle of the ball.
Cami works in the basement of a television station which airs history documentaries. With scars on her face that she acquired in a car accident as a child, Cami finds it easier to be by herself. She gets into a heated debate with the handsome new host of the show she’ll be working on. Is Lance the knight in shining armor who can drag Cami out of her safe zone? With no carriage and no helpful mice, she has to rely on the magic from her grandmother’s locket.
Cami only has 24 hours in her Cinderella body, what will she do with it? Will she keep hiding or can she learn how to live life?
The story reached the top 100 on promotional days and now ranks in the Amazon anthology category.
“Cinderella had it easy,” Cami joked, as she reached across the table to pour herself another glass of wine. “Come on, let’s have a reality check. Cinderella’s stuck in the middle of a terrible life, and then all of a sudden, there just ‘happens’ to be a prince.” She made air quotes with her fingers. “I know it’s a fairy tale, but back then, maybe it was easier for something like that to happen.”
“Really?” Tess laughed. “You are up to your neck in history all day at the TV station. You know how it was in Cinderella’s time. Back then, they had no running water, no bathrooms, and no penicillin. No. Thank. You.”
“You know what I mean.” Cami toed off her shoes, slid on her slippers, and tucked her feet underneath her bottom. She looked around at her best friends and realized how much she enjoyed her ‘girl’s night’ every Wednesday. Tonight, it was at her house. They used to meet at a word-of- mouth suggested Portland bar, but none of them could really afford the expensive drinks and food on their single girl budgets. Now, they rotated to each other’s house or apartment and brought apps and a bottle of wine. Cami found this more fun and a lot cheaper.
“I can’t believe there are any Prince Charmings left in the world. The only men I’ve dated the past few months―no, make that years―are frogs,” Annalise said with a deep sigh.
