Προσωπικά στοιχεία: Εργασιομανής, κυνικός και δύσπιστος.
Αποστολή: Να φτάσει στην κορυφή.

Έχοντας προδοθεί στο παρελθόν από μια γυναίκα, ο Τρίσταν είχε ορκιστεί να μην μπλέξει ποτέ ξανά σε ερωτικές περιπέτειες. Μέχρι που έπιασε στα πράσα τη νεαρή οικονόμο του να κολυμπάει στην πισίνα με ένα αποκαλυπτικό μαγιό, και … αναθεώρησε την απόφασή του!

Κι όταν την έκανε δική του, πείστηκε απόλυτα ότι η φλογερή Έλλα ήταν για κείνον η ιδανική γυναίκα. Δε θα την άφηνε με τίποτε να φύγει από τη ζωή του. Ωστόσο, δεν μπορούσε ν’ απαλλαγεί από την αίσθηση ότι κάτι του έκρυβε. Και σύντομα άρχισε να αναρωτιέται αν αυτό που την κρατούσε κοντά του ήταν ο έρωτας ή τα χρήματα …

About the author

Robyn received a book from her big sister and immediately fell in love with Cinderella. Sprinklings of magic, deepest wishes come true - she was hooked! Picture books with glass slippers later gave way to romance novels. When she was older, she wanted to write one.

However, in junior high, Robyn hit a stumbling block - a disheartening grade of one out of ten for a book review. Confused and hurt, she asked her hundred-and-thirty-year-old English teacher why the low mark? The wizened schoolmarm sniffed, "You obviously had a senior do it for you." Thankfully Robyn's business teacher was a honey.

Following a fifteen-year career behind the scenes in television, Robyn knew the time was right to pursue her dream of becoming a published author. Late in 2004, she received a phone call from a London editor. She'd submitted a manuscript to the Sweet line, which were featuring lighter, sexier stories to be released under the Tango banner. The editor was very interested in her story, but for a brand new line.

Robyn didn't stop smiling for a week, but sometime later learned her revised manuscript hadn't hit the mark. Then she received another call and another request for revisions to a second manuscript! That didn't sell either. On a third manuscript she received a very long, very detail email, asking for, what would turn out to be, a complete rewrite. Having torn out most of her hair, but with 13 contest finals in 2006 (including winning the Golden Pen and Where the Magic Begins), she finished the rewrite then contacted a New York agent. That wonderful agent took her on, and Robyn sold in a matter of weeks, first to Silhouette Desire, then Modern Heat (Sexy Sensation/Presents) with a two book deal! She is currently writing manuscript number fourteen.

Robyn lives with her own modern-day hero on Australia's Sunshine Coast with their three little princesses, as well as two poodles and a cat called Tinkie. She has majors in English literature and psychology, and loves new shoes, worn jeans, visits to the theatre and lunches at picturesque Moffat Beach with her writer friends.

Ms. Grady has given us two delightful characters that you quickly become emotionally invested in. The mystery of Ella's past and Tristan's hidden emotional scars combined with their undeniable spark and sizzle, make this Cinderella story a pleasurable read!

The first thing that caught my eye when I read this when it was newly releaed was the fantastic cover. Then the blurb on the back. I remember really enjoying it and now that I've come across it on Goodreads i'm going to go and hunt it out and reread :)

I didn't really like it, the hero came across as shallow that he couldn't see that Ella was attractive under a bad hairdye. I didn't like the plot with Heroine's brother and wish it would have been stated that a dna test proved he was or wasn't actually her brother (it was speculated that maybe he wasn't and that he was a conman). P.

Very good book the storyline was captivating, Ella The housemaid was surprised Tristan and showed not everything is what you see is what you get. I loved this story and loved all the little details like the smell of the beds and what she was thinking everyday that she worked for him. I like it when books like these show you that what you something you would not think or notice before. Wonderful book could not put it down.
