Annalise Gallagher wanted Elijah
Burleigh. Plain and simple. She2527d watched him from afar for months, her friends
called her ‘his own personal stalker2527, and then she made a wish on a magic
pendant for a full-body makeover. Transformed into the gorgeous knockout she2527d
always wanted to be, she asked Elijah out on a date and wore a haute couture
gown straight from Paris to his friend2527s wedding.
With just twenty-four hours on the clock, her
enchanted night faded into the morning hours and everything crashed down around
her. Annalise harbored a shameful secret and Elijah demanded the truth with the
veil of magic gone.
The truth, however, could destroy her fragile
confidence and push him away forever.

Excerpt:
“I2527m so happy
you came by today.” Elijah2527s hot breath teased the sensitive hollow of her
throat. His lips trailed across her shoulder blade, down her bare arm, and
Annalise almost melted. Then he firmly grasped her waist with his palms and
stared deep into her eyes. “I promised myself I would ask you out the next time
you came in. If I2527d known you worked across the street, I would2527ve made time
and stopped by to see you.”

“I should2527ve
put my insecurities aside months ago and just asked you.” Annalise felt
vulnerable under his keen gaze. “I don2527t ever wear haute couture clothes—this
is the first time in my life that I2527ve ever worn a dress like this—and I don2527t
want you to get the wrong idea. I2527m not sexy. I2527m not a little badass who wears
safety pins and skulls on her clothes all the time. I2527m just…Plain.”

He cupped her
cheek in his palm. “I disagree. I remember the first time I saw you. My nerves
were through the roof, I hated using cue cards for my first tour since I hadn2527t
memorized the information or studied the artwork on my own yet, and there you
were at the back of my group. A blue scarf covered your curly hair—it rained
that day and I could tell you were self-conscious about your hair because you
kept patting it—and a white and blue striped dress hugged your body. You also
wore a bulky denim jacket over it.”

“I bought the
dress on a whim but I didn2527t wear it until my friends dared me to. I felt

He sighed.
“That2527s too bad. Memories of you in that dress keep me awake at night.”
