      Jessica Gallo no longer believed in fairy tales or happy endings. And she certainly didn’t believe she’d find her Prince Charming at Saks Fifth Avenue. Her Fairy Godmother thought differently.

      A CINDERELLA CHRISTMAS

      You will find your Prince Charming. Together you will ride to new heights.

      Seriously, that’s all you’ve got? Jessica Gallo pushed up from the small table covered in fringed gold cloth. Madame Lola’s piercing coal black eyes pinned her. Jessica sat back down.
