How many lives can one shoe change? A beautiful girl runs from the Crown Prince of Lorac at a ball, and a glass slipper is found on the palace steps in her wake. The king proclaims that the shoe will be tried on the foot of every girl in the kingdom in order to find her. Whoever fits the slipper will marry the prince and become a princess. But the only girl who fits the slipper is not the girl from the ball. Cindy, a soot-covered cinder girl, the only person in Lorac to fit the slipper is taken to the palace to meet the king and the prince. On their first meeting, she and Prince Adam take an instant disliking to one another. To their dismay, the king's proclamation is binding, and the prince and the cinder girl are forced into an engagement that neither of them wants. They now have one month to get to know one another before their engagement is formally announced, and their fates are sealed. Both Cindy and Prince Adam are determined to find a way out of their predicament. Soon, they are thrown into circumstances that force them to trust one another to survive. Unbeknownst to them, a spy working in the shadows of the palace, and the people he works for, pose a threat to not only them but possibly their entire kingdom as well. If the Slipper Fits is the classic tale of Cinderella as you've never seen it before, where fairy godmothers are a myth, dreams don't always come true, and people are more than they seem.

Can a down-on-her-luck princess really have it all? A whisper away from thirty, gorgeous Tess Hamilton has been the tennis world’s top titleholder and celebrity since she won her first championship at fifteen. Now the headline-making party girl is getting her first taste of mortality–thanks to new teenage phenom Gabrielle Fontaine. But it’s Gaby’s cool, calm, and all-too-collected brother and manager, Max, who really has Tess seeing double. He’s the first man she can’t seem to seduce–or intimidate. It appears Tess is truly off her game, until a real-life, modern-day fairy godmother steps in.… Aurora Favreaux, a founder of Glass Slipper, Inc., and an old family friend, has a plan to get Tess back on her stilettos, and it includes an unlikely meeting between Tess, Max, and Gaby at Glass Slipper’s new London headquarters–just in time for Wimbledon.

The new superstars in sports are women, and pro beach volleyball player Gabrielle Reece is the hottest of them all. At six-foot-three, 170 pounds, Gabby Reece is at once beautiful and brutish, feminine and rowdy, accessible and intimidating--a woman who is exploding female stereotypes and redefining our image of the female athlete. "A young girl doesn't get many chances to exercise the character muscle via sports, whereas for young boys, it's part of their everyday lives. For girls, it's especially good for them to be forced to work as a team with other girls, to work together under every possible condition--winning, losing, tired, grumpy, happy. It forces them to deal with unpleasant, ungracious emotions and get over it. It forces girls to rely on each other. It gives them confidence in other girls, which ultimately gives them confidence in themselves." "Everything a woman does has an emotional component. Paying attention to my emotional side without surrendering to it is one of the toughest parts of playing professional sports." "I don't like this 'Fear of Being Big' thing because it feeds into the general female thing of wanting to be less--less powerful, less assertive, less demanding, less opinionated, less present, less big." From the Trade Paperback edition.
