The Cinderella Effect

Serial fiancée and struggling artist Lila Barton lives with her family in a dilapidated mansion. Penniless, directionless and having sworn off men, Lila is delighted to land a job working for her famous godfather who is directing a star-studded charity production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. She is even more thrilled to learn that Hollywood heart-throb Mitch Clayton will be one of the stars, although she's promised her sister she won't get engaged again ... this year at least!

But avoiding Mitch's advances is proving tricky. And then there's Mitch's stepbrother, Johnny, the Cinderfella of the Clayton clan. It turns out he's a man of many secrets and Lila can't help but be intrigued ...
