The Cinderella List

The Cinderella List
Judy Baer

Since she was a child, Marlo Mayfield has kept a list of traits her Prince Charming must possess. After a series of bad relationships, Marlo's beginning to lose hope that her ideal man exists.But when she caters a party for Jake Hammond, Marlo realizes he could be the man she's been waiting for. There's only one problem: Jake is super wealthy, and Marlo's not sure she fits into his blue-blooded world. But Jake is determined to show Marlo that with a little faith and a lot of love, he just might be the one.

“I didn’t decide to be single. A good man just hasn’t come along yet, that’s all,” Marlo told Jenny.

“What about the Cinderella List?” her sister pointed out. “Does a man with your requirements even exist?”

“It was just a game, Jen….” Though Marlo wondered when it had turned into something more in her mind.

Jenny slipped out of the room, and returned some minutes later with a piece of folded white typing paper in her hand. “Here. I jotted this down. Maybe it will clarify things for you.”

What was Jenny up to now?
