SUING CINDERELLA
All is fair in love and lawsuits.
Jilted at the altar, heartbroken Scotland “Scottie” Holiday feels utterly conned by her supposed Prince Charming. In reflecting on her ethos of love, however, Scottie determines the real villain is the Kingston Company, the children’s entertainment and amusement park conglomerate responsible for all those glittery fairy tales she watched on a loop growing up. With her best friend and ruthless corporate litigator Peyton by her side, Scottie decides to sue Kingston for false advertising and emotional distress, claiming she has been duped by their magical, misleading stories of happily-ever-after.
Enter Harrison Hayes, Kingston’s dashing defense attorney. A Kingston loyalist and brilliant mind, Harrison proves to be a formidable adversary. Soon, there are more sparks flying than in Kingston’s nightly fireworks show, and staying away from each other outside of court becomes a trial in more ways than one. But as tensions mount with both her father and Peyton, Scottie is forced to face the evidence about her own complicated past.
With her signature blend of wit and whimsy, Stephanie Mack weaves women’s fiction and romance into an enchanting story about heartbreak, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to believe again.
“Memorable and heartfelt. . . . an engrossing second-chance love story between a couple you can’t help but root for as they find their way back to each other. Mack is an impressive and engaging new voice in women’s fiction.”
— Devon Daniels, author of The Rom Con and Meet You in the Middle
“A captivating story that delves deep into complex matters of the heart and leaves you wanting to discuss the issues it explores with friends. This is relatable women’s fiction!”
— Riley Costello, author of Waiting for December
“When We Blinked oscillates between perfectly imperfect Sera and Connor [while delivering] an unapologetic message: the ability to love fully and freely can arise from the ashes of our deepest hurts and shame. Mack . . . flawlessly marries the wit and charm of Sophie Kinsella with the spiritual depth of Francine Rivers. I immediately wanted to know the conclusion but never wanted it to end.”
— Jenn McBride, former managing editor of CBS Los Angeles
“I literally could not put this book down. When We Blinked is both an engrossing love story and a thoughtful journey of self-discovery. Author Stephanie Mack explores big themes—marriage, motherhood, faith, and friendship—with authenticity, grace, and ohso-relatable humor.”
