    About this ebook

    Who doesn't love a Cinderella story?

    Fashionista is the first in the Modern Magic series, a 21st century fairy tale retelling in novelette length (71 pages) for readers with fast-paced lives!

    Allegra Zangari is the granddaughter of the founder of the House of Zangari, a name that was once synonymous with luxury leather goods. A shoe designer, she is carrying on the family business, despite her stepmother's desire to sell the company name to a manufacturer who will cheapen the brand with its shoddy workmanship and put a lot of people out of work.

    Hugo Prince is the son of John Morgan Prince, and heir apparent to the Prince Department Store empire, built upon a global network of upscale establishments that rival Harrods, El Corte Inglés, Selfridges, Le Bon Marché, and Bergdorf Goodman.

    When Hugo Prince launches a contest to find the next generation of luxury goods to add to his store's inventory at Prince's flagship location in Chicago, Allegra sees an opportunity to wrest control of the House of Zangari back from her stepmother and restore it to its previous glory.

    She never expected to fall in love.

    Fashionista is a retelling of the classic Cinderella story set in modern-day Chicago featuring a wicked stepmothers, a ghostly "fairy godmother," and all the fashion and fun of a chick-lit novel, FASHIONISTA is the first in a series of short (novelette-length) airy tale retellings set in the 21st century's most vibrant cities.
