Who says you can’t fall in love in an instant? ELLA I fell in love on a ferry. Sounds like the tagline for a cheesy made-for-tv movie, doesn’t it? But for me, Ella Michaels from Westmount Island, it’s the truth. Marcus is nothing like me. He’s confident, bold, sexy, and oh, did I mention he’s a millionaire? And for some reason, he’s apparently crazy about me. Even though most of my friends are from the books I read, I can’t use a real swear word without sweating, and I spend my days with children. MARCUS I did not want to come to this island. I definitely did not want to enjoy small-town life. I absolutely did not want to fall for a woman who puts cartoon princesses to shame with her beauty and heart. But that’s exactly what happened the second I met Ella. She’s the calm to my storm, and she’s forcing me to re-evaluate what’s really important in life.
