A shy teacher shares a wild night with her secret crush in this classic erotic Cinderella romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.

Grade school teacher Carlie McDaniels trades in her frumpiness for a sizzling little number . . . at least for one costume party. Goodbye, solitary nights of wondering what could happen—and hello to something actually happening with tall, dark and handsome Tyler Ramsey! She has one night to live out her wildest dreams before life goes back to normal the next day, and she can't imagine sharing that with anyone other than him.

It soon becomes apparent that after the best night of their lives, Tyler never guessed the identity of the mystery stunner, and a heartbroken Carlie decides it's best to keep him in the dark. After all, a gorgeous guy like Tyler would never fall for his sister-in-law's smart-mouthed friend. And Carlie's not even sure she wants to know what would happen if he ever unveiled the naked truth. But as fate would have it, she's about to find out . . .
