Cinderella never had to deal with this crap.
Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire---maybe do exist.
Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. Hell, a prince would neveragree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retribution that he's tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can't have. But while they can't have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . . .

This book had so much humor in it. I laughed so hard, I cried. There's literally a scene at the beginning, where they're at a party to promote the auction and the two brothers, Brock and... yeah, I've forgot the name. But anyhow, they're talking about two girls talking dancing on the dance floor, and I've never laughed so hard in my life. So funny.
It's really like a Cinderella story. Jane is Cinderella, she has two ugly sisters, not just by looks, but by personality too and they make her do everything. She feeds them, puts a roof over they're heads and cleans up after them. She even pays their debts off.
Brock isn't in a better position himself. He has a hard time ever saying no to his grandpa, which is how he ends up being bidden on at auction.
Only, the sneaky grandpa has other plans. After seeing them together at the party, where Brock buys her a pair of shoes, he wades in without them knowing.
They're both forced to spend three weeks together at a secluded farm house. Jane is there under the pretense she's getting it ready for the owners to stay there, and Brock is there under the pretense he's there to relax and figure his life out as such.
Only, Brock can't let his grandpa down, so to push her away he's a dick.
Yes, you heard me. A dick. But still a lovable one at that.
Now, does he fall for the girl he's crazy about or does he let his grandpa auction him off, force him into marriage to save face for their company, a company he's worked his ass off to make money for????
One thing you can also watch out for... Grandma Nadine. Yes, she's back and funny as ever. I love this woman. So funny.
