About Once Upon a Midnight Dream: a steamy Cinderella retelling
Discounted through the end of March!
Forced into a life of serving the wretched orphan keeper and her two daughters after being found in the woods as a child, Ellie yearns for freedom. She hopes to use her skills to become a governess, but Mrs. Bitterworth has no intention of letting her go. Stuck with life as an unwilling servant, Ellie follows the Bitterworths into a curiosity shop, where a handsome count searches for an engagement gift. When he asks for something in Spanish, and no one can translate, Ellie steps forth to assist him, which draws his eye. Life without his smile becomes unbearable after this, but her options at this point are nonexistent. Will she ever see the dreamy Count again?
Mateo Montevista, Count of Manila, is about to lose his inheritance if he cannot produce a suitable bride within the month. He leaves Spain for London’s season, stopping at a shop to purchase an engagement gift for the woman he hopes to find. Instead, he is mesmerized by a servant girl who translates for him. When he learns this Ellie has no family, he undertakes a quest—not to find a bride, but to discover Ellie’s roots, for he is certain he knows this orphan, but how? Spending time with her means less chance of finding a bride and saving his home, but he simply cannot get her out of his mind. Will his efforts bear fruit before he loses everything?

Author Bio:
Dorothy Callahan is one of those authors who annoys other authors by refusing to be tied down to one genre. If a tale demands to be told—even if she’s never read a single story like it—she’ll find a way to write the book of her heart. This is the only way to quiet those demanding characters begging to be heard.
She lives in New York with her wonderful husband, a pride of demanding cats, and two sweet dogs, all rescued from shelters (well, not her husband; he didn’t need rescuing). Her love of both animals and writing prompted her to start READ AND RESCUE, an organization where animal-loving authors and readers can find one another. The unique aspect to this group is that each author pledges a portion of proceeds to his/her favorite animal cause.
When Dorothy is not writing, she enjoys shopping for antiques and renovating their pre-Civil War house.
