Synopsis:
"Being a modern-day fairy godmother isn't all 'bibbidi bobbidi boo,'" the legendary Lilliana Willowbook says. "It's hard work, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We don't handle cash, jewelry, real estate or revenge."
AVIANA WILLOBROOK had no idea that her mother is a living legend until the day the tattered old copy of "The Fairy Godmother's Rulebook" arrived in the mail on her twenty-first birthday. Estranged from her mom, and living in Beverly Hills with her father, her stepmother and two super-achieving stepsisters, Aviana is unhappy and directionless.
Hotel heir NASH NOLAN isn't content to use his family's fortune, instead he's used his computer knowledge to create a successful travel app. He's not the kind of guy to wear his heart on his sleeve, Nash is immediately attracted to Aviana's confidence and kindness.
But everything changes when novice fairy godmother Aviana is tasked with sparking a romance between Nash and her wicked stepsister. Will she use her powers to help Nash and her stepsister find their destiny, or will she use her pixie dust to find her own happily ever after?

Excerpt
When I returned 'THE FAIRY GODMOTHER'S RULEBOOK' was open on my desk. No one was nearby, but the old velum pages were open to reveal a woodcut etching of a fairyland scene faced with a thin slice of tissue paper. In the etching a group of fairies floated above the ground in a circle around a regal-looking woman in a ball gown as they balanced a bejeweled tiara on her head.
I slammed the book shut and a cloud of glittering dust rose from the pages. The dust cloud made me woozy and gave me the sneezes. When I recovered from the sneezing fit, my ears itched like I had poison ivy.
No surprise.
If the old book had anything to do with Mom, I was allergic to it and its contents. I stuffed the book back into my tote under my desk. Best to be forgotten. As soon as possible. I didn't have time for fairies, or fairy tales. I didn't believe in them when I was a little girl, and I sure as hell wasn't going to start now.
