Cinderella no Butoukai

夢見る花嫁

In the Cinderella no Butoukai series (シンデレラの舞踏会シリーズ), the Cinderella Ball had a simple concept: arrive single, depart wed. By midnight, complete strangers could end up married—as if by magic! 1. Yumemiru Hanayome (夢見る花嫁; Temporary Husband) Wynne Sommers was invited to a wedding—her own! Wynne Sommers needed a husband to secure her inheritance, and she got Jake Hondo. He was a grim, ill-tempered rancher who also needed to marry, at least on paper. Wynne was hardly his idea of a temporary wife. She was a hopeless romantic, while Jake kept his cowboy boots planted firmly in Texas soil. But he couldn't allow her to marry just anyone. Unfortunately, only after they were wed did Jake discover that Wynne's inheritance wasn't money or land—it was two little boys who were determined to call him dad! 2. Maigo no Glass no Kutsu (迷子のガラスの靴; Accidental Wife) Nikki Ashton was invited to a wedding—her own! To keep her lovesick boss, Eric, at a distance, Nikki Ashton had told him she was happily married. The wedding ring had been easy enough—all she needed now was a husband! Jonah Alexander seemed sent from heaven. Unfortunately, he had come to the ball to stop a wedding, not start one. He was certain his brother Eric was about to make the biggest mistake of his life by marrying Nikki Ashton. But then he realized Nikki wasn't so much waiting for her future husband as shopping for one... 3. Hoshi no Kagayaku Yoru ni (星の輝く夜に; Shotgun Marriage) Ella Montague was invited to a wedding—her own! When Ella Montague's Prince Charming left her, she lost her faith in fairy tales. But now Rafe Beaumont was back! The Montagues had destroyed his sister's life with their romantic nonsense—he wanted revenge. He would marry Ella and break her heart. But once wed, Rafe discovered that marrying Ella hadn't shattered her dreams of happily-ever-afters; it had restored them! She had married for love—now all she had to do was convince her stubborn husband!
