ONCE A UPON A TIME ... THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER. BY THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT, YOU MUST KISS THE HANDSOME PRINCE WHO WILL BRING YOU BLISS. By no stretch of the imagination did Paige Conner consider herself a princess. She was far more interested in pursuing her research than in attending gala balls or dressing in frilly gowns. Then the feisty beauty's bumbling fairy godmother arranged for her to take a job that landed her in a small kingdom —- and in the arms of a prince with more than dancing on his mind. Enchanted from the first, Paige longed to lose herself in her royal suitor's loving embrace. Yet she feared that their desire was a result of a seductive spell and not her own considerable charms. And Paige wouldn't agree to live passionately ever after until she had claimed the prince's heart with a magic all her own.
