Charming for Mother's Day: A Calendar Girls Novella

By Gina Ardito

Wanted: Prince Charming
 

After years of watching fairy tale movies, Ariana Soto has decided her hard-working, generous, pretty mom, Lucinda, needs a Prince Charming of her own. When television's "All Star Chef" winner, Colin Murriere, returns to Snug Harbor to open his new restaurant, Ariana knows he'll be perfect for Mom--with a little princely education from an expert.

But Colin and Lucie have a past Ariana knows nothing about. And she'll need to call on all her fairy tale princess experience to ensure these two end up with the Happily Ever After they deserve.
