If at first she can't find love, she'll try, try again.
When the clock strikes midnight, getting home from Prince Benedict's ball before the magic ends and her gown turns to rags is far from Emmeline's only problem. There's also the way she keeps tripping down the castle stairs—and the fact that the evening starts all over again as soon as she wakes from her fall.
With a new suitor seeking to sweep her off her feet during each version of the ball, Emmeline finds herself trapped in a cycle that proves to be as much a competition for her own heart and happiness as it is for Prince Benedict's. Choosing her perfect match will bring the evening to a close for all, but to make her selection, she'll have to bend the rules first.
Cinderella meets Groundhog Day in this short story that reimagines the happily ever after you thought you knew.
