I just started a job as an escort so I can support my sister & save up for her prosthetics. & my dream of happily ever after? Ha! There's no time for that. I'm stuck doing the adult thing. That's until I meet Prince Erik, & he reminds me of what it's like to feel again, to dare to dream again, & to believe in the fairytale I'd shoved so deep down I thought it was gone. One touch from him is a jolt to my heart, & suddenly I'm feeling things I really shouldn't. 'Cause let's face it—Fairytales don't come true, do they? For books 2-4: email marilyncruise75@gmail.com
