This month I'm celebrating the anniversary of my Christmas romance, Nobody’s Cinderella.
This romantic comedy is a particular favorite of mine. Happily, readers seem to love it too. After all, who doesn’t love a Cinderella story?
The Cinderella Myth is still one of the most popular folk tales in the world. You’ll find it in not only European countries but also in India, Vietnam, and Africa.
In truth, it crosses all cultural lines. There are hundreds of folk tale versions of the Cinderella story.
Surprising History
You might be surprised to learn that one of the earliest recorded versions comes from China. According to the Chinese story, the heroine doesn’t have a fairy godmother, but a magical fish who helps her.
However, a golden shoe leads a prince to her, and they marry. Some sources say the story actually originated in Greece even earlier.
That Was Then, This Is Now
Nearly 1200 years later, Cinderella is still having her story told by countless authors – including me with Nobody’s Cinderella (Book 1 of San Antone Two-Step). In my book, Darcy Benton is a Cinderella who wishes on a Christmas star instead of waiting for her fairy godmother to cast a spell and send Darcy her prince.
In this case, Darcy’s prince is Chase Whitaker, owner of an oil exploration/production company.
Of course, I put pretty shoes on the cover of this romantic comedy. After all, what is Cinderella without a pair of knock ’em dead shoes?
About Nobody’s Cinderella
In this sassy, sexy romantic comedy, Darcy is the oldest cliche in the world–a woman in love with her boss.
Other than that little quirk, Darcy is no-nonsense, practical, mature, and sober. She’s just the kind of woman Chase wants as head of accounting for his company. She’s definitely not the kind of woman he wants in his bed.
Enter Darcy’s meddling, matchmaking best friend who has a plan to transform Darcy into a hottie designed to attract Chase’s interest. All it takes? A couple of little lies.
Oh, and a wish on a Christmas Star. Darcy should have heeded that old advice. Be careful what you wish for.
Nobody’s Cinderella is available only at Amazon for $3.99 or read for free if you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber.
Nobody’s Cinderella Audio Book is available at Audible.
Takeaway Truth
Treat yourself to a holiday romance that will leave you with a smile.
