[Once Upon a Time on Lavender Beach 01] • Not Quite Charming · A Secret Billionaire Beach Romantic Comedy

*Ellie*

**I’m not looking for Prince Charming.**

I don’t have time for a relationship, period.

After my father died and left the family business to my awful stepmother, my life has gone to the dogs. Literally.

Yup. Stepmommy Dearest inherited Dad’s successful pet store.

I inherited all the work.

**But if a sexy stranger were to wander into this sleepy beach town, I wouldn’t say, “no,” to a fling...**

Ellie Cooper is no damsel in distress. So why do I want to throw myself in front of a freight train to protect her every time I’m near her?

**But there are some things I can’t protect her from.**

**Namely, me.**

You see, I’m the one behind the mega corporation that’s planning to buy her beloved pet store.

Now all I need to do is **convince her that I’m her Happily Ever After.** Before the clock strikes midnight, and it’s too late.

***Not Quite Charming*** has...
