STARTING WITH A KISS [Taken from FictionDB:] 'How can I ever hope to attract the man of my dreams when he has never looked at me that way?' Abigail Trent had never intended to be 30 and still single.

But she never expected that with just one kiss, Greg would make her feel so desirable and special. For the first time in Abigail's life, she was keenly aware of the sensations and longings a man's touch could evoke. Suddenly, she began to hope that what had started out as a Cinderella-esque fantasy could turn into something much more...that maybe Greg was the Prince Charming she'd been waiting for all her life to give her innocence, and her heart.
