Kingdom of Monte Cleure – Present Day

Tycoon Andres Morato is headed to the birthday party of the queen of Monte Cleure when he is stopped at the border for an extensive check of his expensive car. The border guard is pretty, and he soon learns her name is Gabrielle Breton, and she isn’t going to listen to Andres’s complaints about the delay. After the car is cleared, his sister Sophia, who is accompanying him to the party, complains of being ill and bows out of the party. She suggests that he invite Gabrielle to the party instead since a plus one is required. Sounds outrageous that a wealthy man would bring a commoner to an exclusive party. But Gabrielle decides to accept.

Andres soon learns that he likes Gabrielle’s candor and freshness. She is different from the women he normally dates. Add in that he is now attracted to her; it is no wonder that he wants to extend their night together after the party. They end up making love and, in the morning, they go their separate ways. While Andres hasn’t forgotten their night together, he is soon facing her in his office a few weeks later when she comes to tell him that she’s pregnant—with his child. 

Andres and Gabrielle thought their affair would only last one night in Michelle Smart’s CINDERELLA’S ONE-NIGHT BABY but her pregnancy changes everything for them. She is a single mother of a little boy, so she rarely gets a chance to go out. But luckily on this night, her son is on an overnight stay with her family. This is why Gabrielle said yes when she was asked by Andres to accompany him to the party. What a great chance to see her beloved queen in person. But the sizzling attraction between Andres and Gabrielle soon has them forgetting about the party. Not when they could spend the night making love. Neither is asking for a commitment. 

Gabrielle only plans to tell Andres about the baby and doesn’t want him to feel obligated. She even offers to get a DNA test. She isn’t asking for financial support from him, but Andres insists that they try to work together to see if they can be a family. Gabrielle is skeptical of his plan but agrees to accompany him to Japan for a business trip. Will their relationship change by the time it’s over? Andres never plans to marry but will the baby make him change his mind? Gabrielle finds herself already falling for him. But will he end up breaking her heart?

A passionate tale that hits all the right emotional chords, don’t miss CINDERELLA’S ONE-NIGHT BABY.
