Like a desperate Cinderella, Morgan only has until midnight to enjoy the ball before her dreams crash into reality and she must go home without her lover, Derek. Yet the Goddess of Love has promised to return Derek to her--if she can find him before the clock strikes twelve. Morgan carefully watches the guests' faces, but not her step, and is knocked nearly unconscious minutes before midnight. Desolate, she comes to in time to see Derek walking away with Aphrodite, and is left alone to be consoled by Brianna and Marcos, the couple who helped her after she fell. But Aphrodite isn’t the Goddess of Love for nothing, and when the masks fall away, Morgan learns the meaning of the adage, “Be careful what you wish for.”
