Jessica Gilmore - Cinderella's Secret Royal Fling

Cinderella’s fling...

...with the prince!

In this Fairytale Brides story, party planner Emilia Clayton once believed meeting handsome strangers in secret palace gardens happened only in fairy tales. Until her latest job leads her to embark on a fling with mysterious Ren. Unbeknownst to her, Ren’s actually Archduke Laurent, ruler of Armaria! They’re from different worlds, but their connection’s undeniable... After years of estrangement from her family, has Emilia finally found where she belongs—by Laurent’s side?

A former au pair, bookseller, marketing manager and seafront trader, JESSICA GILMOREnow works for an environmental charity in York, England. Married with one daughter, one fluffy dog and two dog-loathing cats, she spends her time avoiding housework and can usually be found with her nose in a book. Jessica writes emotional romance with a hint of humour, a splash of sunshine and a great deal of delicious food—and equally delicious heroes!
