History expert and publisher Dominic Stewart notices the fairy-tale shoes first, but author Meg Crawford, the woman who wears them, is no Cinderella. Meg should use those red stilettos to walk away from the powerful, determined man who challenges her to do what she never thought she could. Her refusal is quick and adamant, and the stakes are too high. Ultimately, she can't resist his extremely tempting offer. If she fails, they both lose; if she succeeds, it may be at too big a price. Both believe "happily ever after" is pure fiction, but their chance encounter in a bar just may give them a shot at romantic history on and off the page.

When your last name is Charming, and your family believes that you're a direct descendant of Cinderella, you are prone to be the target of some bullies growing up. It's no wonder you close up and want to become invisible. That's until Carl, my eternal crush, breaks up with his cheerleader girlfriend. I finally have a chance to seduce him, and there's a ball coming up that's the perfect place for a first romantic date. But going through a makeover turns to be an impossible task that makes me the target of more bullying. Looking for a bit of comfort in the fairytale items that my parents guard with their own lives, I try on the glass slippers they claim belonged to Cinderella. For my utter excitement and dread, they are magical and take me to another world where a handsome elf prince throws endless parties while waiting for his queen to find him. As I seek refuge in that other world and befriend Edrahil, the dark prince, I discover that a promise has been made in the past, and the prince might find his demises if he doesn't find his beloved soon. In a twist of fate, Edrahil decides to play matchmaker and help me conquer my lover's heart in return of taking the magical slippers in a race against time to find his beloved. Dating Carl is a dream come true, so why do I feel as if I made a terrible mistake? Chasing Cinderella is a twist in the classic fairy tale that makes every girl wish for a prince charming.

Chasing History
Author: Carl Bernstein
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1627791515
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A New York Times bestseller In this triumphant memoir, Carl Bernstein, the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of All the President’s Men and pioneer of investigative journalism, recalls his beginnings as an audacious teenage newspaper reporter in the nation’s capital—a winning tale of scrapes, gumshoeing, and American bedlam. In 1960, Bernstein was just a sixteen-year-old at considerable risk of failing to graduate high school. Inquisitive, self-taught—and, yes, truant—Bernstein landed a job as a copyboy at the Evening Star, the afternoon paper in Washington. By nineteen, he was a reporter there. In Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom, Bernstein recalls the origins of his storied journalistic career as he chronicles the Kennedy era, the swelling civil rights movement, and a slew of grisly crimes. He spins a buoyant, frenetic account of educating himself in what Bob Woodward describes as “the genius of perpetual engagement.” Funny and exhilarating, poignant and frank, Chasing History is an extraordinary memoir of life on the cusp of adulthood for a determined young man with a dogged commitment to the truth.

When Nate Coleman lands a job as a producer on the hit reality dating show Chasing Prince Charming, he's excited for the new opportunity. His first task is to interview Becca Hale, a gorgeous single mom who's looking for her second chance at love following the death of her war hero husband. Nate's job is to make Becca comfortable so that she'll spill her juiciest secrets on camera-but as they get to know each other, he finds himself more and more drawn to her. Nate wishes he could be the one taking her on elaborate dates or just chilling with her back at the hotel, not the guy convincing her to swoon for the cameras about another man.
