When Cindy Lou Hopkins turns 25, life will get better. She knows it. She'll no longer be under the thumb of her stepmother, Geneva, or tormented by her stepsisters. She just has to stay alive that long.

The only kink in her plan for independence is the handsome Lance Moore, whom she jokingly calls the town prince. A man who wants to get to know her better. A man Cindy isn't worthy to be in the same room as.

When Lance throws a barn dance, Cindy is determined to have one night with him that will carry her through the rest of her life. Can she set aside prejudices from a bygone time and embrace her happily ever after?
