description: Curvy Cinderella meets a charming reluctant alpha.Can he save her from a step mother who means murder? Cinder Vandeburg dreams getting away from her overbearing step mother and getting a real job—one that pays. When her step sisters are finalists in a teen modeling competition at a chic resort in the beautiful mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, her step mother offers her an opportunity: prove herself a competent personal assistant and earn not only a stellar referral, but a bona-fide introduction to the movers and shakers of the modeling world. This is Cinder's chance at freedom but as usual, her step mother seems to find fault in everything she does—even when she sends her to seduce suspected modeling judge, Aiden Burdock. Aiden is no modeling judge. He's a tour guide with a pack of bachelor wolves depending on him to rustle up quality clients and keep their business afloat. But Aiden never wanted to be an alpha. He dreams of freedom and running wild in the hills. Having six…no seven…now eight wolves depending on him for leadership and jobs is more than he counted on when he fled pack expectations in Colorado. But his alpha tendencies can't be ignored and when he sees curvy Cinder being treated as the runt of the litter, he lies and says he's a judge to get her away from her malicious boss. Now Aiden is faced with how to tell Cinder he's just a working stiff, like her, and a wolf shifter to boot. As Aiden and Cinder's fairy godmother build up her self esteem and she starts falling in love with a man of secrets, Cinder's step mother is determined that someone she's in charge of will win the modeling competition. Even if it means she has to go all the way—and permanently eliminate the competition.Lions and wolves and bears, oh my.Discover why readers love the twisted tales of Jessica Aspen's Fairy Tale Mates.
