Books like Ever after by Joan Hohl
Cyndi Swoyer lives in a small Pennsylvania town and runs a gas‑station diner. She has long cherished her dreams of a better life, but never anticipated meeting an ideal husband in person. Bennett Ganster—owner of a prosperous chain of bookstores—rides into her daily routine in a late‑model Buick and presents an offer she cannot refuse. Bennett is wealthy, handsome, and has never seriously considered marriage; only his mother's illness and her insistence prompt him to find a spouse. Their meeting seems like fate: Cyndi has the comforts she wants, Bennett can fulfill his mother’s wishes, and love appears quick. Yet as Bennett begins setting aside his marriage intentions, and Cyndi realizes her feelings may be deeper than she expected, she must decide whether to trust the unexpected prince charming and secure her happily ever after.
