“People get excellent advice all the time, but that doesn’t make them successful. You were smart enough to recognize which advice could work for you, and you were dedicated enough to implement it.”
He spoke with authority, but there was something in his expression that said she wasn’t his underling. She was important. She mattered. It didn’t remind her of anyone else in any movie at all. This was just him. Talking to just her.
“Don’t cry over Cinderella again. You aren’t anything like her. It’s very clear that she doesn’t measure up to you.”
Mallory looked at her leading man under the starlight, and she felt one last tear slip from the corner of her eye to roll elegantly down her cheek like a bit of movie magic.
Eli ran his finger up her cheek, stopping it in its tracks and whisking it away.
“I’m sorry I agreed to this fake date,” she whispered.
“Why is that?”
“Because I would kiss you right now, if we were real.”
Despite a no-nonsense background as a West Point graduate and U.S. Army officer, Caro Carson has always treasured the happily-ever-after of a good romance novel. After her military service, she worked in the healthcare industry with a Fortune 100 company, talking science with doctors who were rarely handsome bachelor Texans like the doctors in her books. Now a USA Today bestselling author and RITA™ award winner, Caro is delighted to be living her own happily-ever-after with her husband (who actually is a handsome Texan) and their two children. They live in the great state of Florida, a location which has saved the coaster-loving theme park fanatics a fortune on plane tickets.
