Books like Cinderellie! by Carol Grace
Ellie Branson lives a life of chores and endless reminders that she belongs in the kitchen—until Jack Martin, a handsome venture capitalist, enters and offers her a brilliant, yet risky opportunity: to open her own restaurant. Tired of the stepmother’s tyrannical demands and the stepsisters’ relentless expectations, Ellie sees Jack as the possibility of a fresh start.
Despite her lingering doubts and the lingering image of the Cinderella costume she wore to a previous party, Ellie confronts the challenges of entrepreneurship in the competitive world of fine dining. The interplay of modern ambition and classic romance becomes a battle between believable skepticism and the promise of a life less ordinary.
