Wynne Sommers was invited to a wedding—her own!

The inspiration behind the Cinderella Ball was simple—come single, leave wed. By midnight perfect strangers could find themselves married…as if by magic!

Wynne Sommers needed a husband to secure her inheritance. She got Jake Hondo! He was a mean, moody rancher who needed to get married, on paper at least. Wynne wasn't his idea of a temporary wife. She was a hopeless romantic whereas Jake had his cowboy boots firmly planted in Texas soil! But he couldn't let her marry just anybody….

Unfortunately, it was only after they'd wed that Jake discovered Wynne's inheritance wasn't money or land—but two little boys determined to call him Dad!
