    • Život může být pohádkový, pokud máte ty správné boty! Tansy zdědí tetiččin obchod s botami v anglickém městečku Sticklepondu a dostane báječný nápad – co kdyby se zaměřila jen na svatební obuv? A tak se zrodí Popelčiny střevíčky, obchůdek nejen se svatebními botami, ale také s rozmanitými doplňky, dárečky pro družičky a úžasnými čokoládovými střevíčky. Kéž by bylo všechno tak dokonalé i v Tansyině osobním životě. Její snoubenec totiž asi nebude ten pravý a rodinné vztahy jsou napjatější než kdy dřív. Tansy momentálně nachází jedinou radost v obchodu, který zažívá skvělý úspěch. Je tu ovšem jeden člověk, který není zrovna nadšený z Popelčiných střevíčků a proudu zákazníků mířících za vysněnými botami. Herec Ivo Hawksley, obyvatel domku vedle obchodu, přišel do Sticklepondu, aby vyléčil své zlomené srdce, jenže ruch v obchůdku mu mnoho klidu nedopřává. Brzy ale zjistí, že toho mají s Tansy společného víc, než si oba mysleli, a odhalení tajemství z minulosti prolomí ledy…
