Her Frog Prince Holiday — Cara Marsi

The gift of a magical snow globe from a mysterious stranger paints the scene for romance between a Manhattan art gallery manager and a sexy man who isn't what he seems.

At a Halloween party, uptight gallery manager Bella Cassani lets her friends goad her into kissing a handsome stranger. Yes, a girl has to kiss a lot of frogs to find her prince, but Bella prefers “frogs.” They're safer than the sexy-but-unfaithful kind. When fate brings the knock-her-hat-off-with-a-kiss guy back into her life, things get complicated.

Chad Prince likes his life just as it is. Working in art galleries, he travels the world with no complicated relationships or family entanglements. There's more to life than the money and success that were so important to his father, and no woman will betray him again like the last one did. Falling for sexy Bella Cassani is the last thing he wants.

Bella thinks Chad is just too good looking. Handsome men remind her of her ne'er-do- well father and a childhood that often left her hungry and insecure. But Chad's kiss awakens a whole new kind of hunger in Bella. Can a woman who thought she wanted a frog learn to love a prince?
