About the book
Welcome to the Cinderella Ball: come single, leave wed! As if by magic, meet and marry your perfect partner--all on one special night...
Hanna Tyler was fed up with her family's matchmaking schemes: she just had to find herself a husband! When a friend gave her a ticket to the Cinderella Ball, Hanna took a deep breath and decided to bring home a husband--on a trial-only basis, of course!
Marco Salvatore was looking for a business deal, not a bride. He considered it impossible to choose a wife in one night. He was wrong; he wanted Hanna the moment he saw her...and they were married by midnight! Now Marco simply had to convince Hanna that their instant marriage could last a lifetime!
