The Cinderella Arrangement

The story plays with classic fairy tale elements but in an adult, contemporary setting. I'm curious what inspired this particular take—was it a specific fairy tale or a fresh idea?

The banter and chemistry felt natural and light, but I also caught myself rooting for their connection. How did the author manage to keep it fun yet emotionally engaging?

The story flows smoothly, but I'm wondering if the pacing was intentional to keep readers entertained without rushing the romance.
