Synopsis

At twenty-eight, elementary-school teacher Lucy Harper still feels more like a wallflower than the sex goddess she knows is trapped inside her. In fact, she can barely remember the last time she actually had sex. She claims she's content with her life, but she doesn't even realize she's slipping into a coma--a sex coma, that is. Until It arrives: the invitation to her ten-year high school reunion.Lucy's childhood pals Jana and Grady are baffled by her decision to attend. But they've managed to put geek-hood behind them. This may be Lucy's last chance to lose her loser reputation and knock her ex-classmates' socks off--thanks to the modern-day fairy godmothers at Glass Slipper, Inc. For a not-so-small fee, they promise to bring out the princess in any woman. If only Lucy's friends were more supportive, especially Grady. After all, he loves her like a sister. Doesn't he? Soon Lucy is under the scrutiny of eccentric self-made diva Vivian dePalma. And the diagnosis is dour: Lucy has slipped into the final stage of Sleeping Beauty Syndrome--meaning her love life is near death. Can Vivian rouse her in time for the reunion? And will a kiss from her teen crush really be enough to awaken her? For Lucy hasn't quite opened her eyes to one important truth: the soul mate she's been dreaming of has never left her side.From the Trade Paperback edition.
