What to expect
When Taylor Frost’s boss flies him across the country to prep for her daughter’s sweet sixteen at the Storybook Endings Resort, the solo mission is well within his wheelhouse. Taylor is excellent at his job – except, he’s probably not supposed to flirt with the resort’s mountain man of a manager, Ethan Golding. Because the rugged older man is also the birthday girl’s father, aka Amy’s ex-husband. Oops.
For Ethan, his divorce seemed like the bad ending to his romantic story. And now, making his daughter’s sweet sixteen dreams come true is the closest he’ll get to the kind of magic happiness in fairy tales. Until adorable Taylor has him wondering if maybe this is just the beginning of a more erotic kind of bedtime story…
If one fairytale ends badly…can a new one begin?–
