Par for Cinderella by Petie McCarty

     Billionaire Aidan Cross longs to escape his life of celebrity and become a regular guy, if only for a brief time. His chance comes when his yacht breaks down near quaint Cypress Key, Florida--the site of his planned five-star golf resort. The golf resort no one in town wants.

     Casey Stuart has given up her dream of escaping to the big city. She refuses to desert her uncle, even when he hires the new stranger int own to replace her at their golf course. Casey vows to steer clear of the stranger called Aidan and the danger their inescapable chemistry provokes. Aidan's stay is temporary and falling for him promises only heartbreak.

     When Casey discovers Cypress Key's mayor is making underhanded business deals, she ends up on the wrong side of the powerful autocrat. Aidan steps in to rescue her, but secrets from his past threaten to bogey their new-found relationship.

     Set in Cypress Key in the remote and romantic Florida Keys, this is a modern day Cinderella story, played out by heroine Casey Stuart and Prince Charming in the guise of golf course designer and mega-rich Aidan Cross. Throw an evil step-mother and nasty step sister into the mix of eclectic locals and you've got one terrific read. Add a gnarly mayor/chief bad guy and his henchmen for a lesson in fulfilling goals and appreciating the other side of things. Do not miss this one. It's a beauty.
