Between work, her daughter, and writing, Divinia Simone doesn't have much time for a love life. Then add on top of it her best friend wanting her to plan a luxury wedding in 30 days? No time at all. Until Vance Mallard volunteers to help her with the planning. She smells a set-up, but accepts the help of the gorgeous man while trying to protect her heart from him. Yet will she succeed on both accounts?

A wonderful short romance read that is sweet and clean. I sympathized with Divinia right from the start. A divorced single mom guarding her heart against possible hurt. Her voice was clear, and I was swept away with Divinia as Vance charmed her. The story is lovely and light and left me with a smile.

Divinea is handling life as a single mom just fine, until her best friend invites to go on a Mediterranean cruise at a price that’s hard to believe. It happens that the best friend’s boyfriend and his friend are also on board, and the friend happens to be insanely wealthy. The writing is excellent. The romance isn’t bad. If you enjoy Cinderella-like stories, then you’ll probably like this one.
