Romance? Love? In this Once Upon A Romance Series Book 1
romantic comedy, Charlotte (Charlie) King doesn't have time
for either one. All she wants is her late father’s dream to
come true by making his beloved King's Department Store
thrive again. However, her stepmother has other ideas.
Charlie agrees to help her stepmother find grooms for her
sheltered stepsisters. In exchange, the stepmother will
release her stronghold on the budget for the store. After
all, one good deed deserves another, right? But, Charlie has
no idea what her heart's in for when ...
Alexander (Alex) Royale, dubbed by society newspapers as
Prince Charming, arrives for dinner to meet the all-female
King family. His ailing grandparents yearn for his marriage
and then the baby carriage. Well, that and running the
family company. Having unsuccessfully searched for months,
Alex doesn’t hold out any hope in finding his future bride
among the King sisters. However, all his expectations,
including his idea of a business-like marriage of
convenience, vanish the moment Charlie crashes into him.
When Alex sets out to win over Charlotte, he has no idea he
has to bargain with the stepmother, secretly buy the store,
court Charlotte after the wedding, and, oh yeah, be featured
in Charlie’s new fairy tale ad campaign, The Charmings,
based on them. Can a guy ever get a break?
The couple never factored in falling in love with each
other. Now, faced with losing all their families ever
wanted, Charlie and Alex must choose: Do they live their
families' dreams or do they finally live their own?
