"Hold the elevator!" she called.
His hand shot out, stopping it from closing. Ella dashed inside only to find herself face-to-face with the man she'd been ogling not an hour before.
She'd never met Ever After Sweet Shoppe's owner, but wowee, was he better looking in person. The picture captured his tan and the blaze in his crystal blue eyes, but now, seeing those eyes up close and personal had a sugary-spiked effect on her blood pressure.
They had the full force of a storm, unavoidable and impossible to not feel once she was submersed in it. She was being doused by a downpour, and it pooled all the way into her shoes.
Oh, wait. That was her wet sock. Still, his direct glance did something to her.
Ella's cheeks blazed as though she stood beneath stage lights. She couldn't believe it. She'd just stepped into the elevator with Hawk Danielson.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This series happened almost completely by accident! I had a set of covers that are completely GORGEOUS in mind for a different set of books, and they ended up not fitting the story at all.
While talking to my amazing mom, she suggested the girl on the cover looked like Goldilocks, and boom, this story idea exploded in my mind. I got off the phone with her and immediately wrote the back copy blurb, seeing Goldie and Adrian in my head from the start. Then things blossomed from there!
So, many, many thanks go to my wonderful mother, who has been so supportive in helping me brainstorm the three Bear brothers and other tiny details, not only in this fairy tale romance, but in the subsequent ones as well. Thanks, Mom!
Thanks go to my cover designer, Najla Qamber. Najla, you absolutely captured the romantic, fairy tale feel I wanted for these covers. (I, consequently, didn’t end up using the ones previously mentioned that looked like Goldilocks, but someday I will! For a different series.) The cover is completely perfect, Naj. Thank you!
To my husband, Duane, for all your help with Adrian’s car and other details, too. To my beautiful kids, I love you! To my Heavenly Father, for talents and blessings.
Huge thanks to Scarlett West for her helpful insights in the manuscript, and to Sara Old for her wonderful, insightful editing.
And to you, readers! We share a love of books, and that is a magical thing.
If you ever want to hang out with me, be sure to stop by my Facebook group, Catelyn’s Sweet and Sassy Readers. All kinds of awesomeness go on there, and I’d love to have you join in!
