Sinopse

Sleeping Beauty Stories includes several stories across several decades from the beginning of is imaginative creation. The story that brought to life the sensational Maleficent the new Disney movie. Includes the stories of Andrew Lang (1844-1912), Charles Perrault, and others. The story: At the christening of a king and queen's long-wished-for child, seven fairies are invited to be godmothers to the infant princess. At the banquet back at the palace, the fairies seat themselves with a golden casket containing golden jeweled utensils laid before them. However, a fairy who was overlooked, having been within a certain tower for many years and thought to be either dead or enchanted, enters and is offered a seating, but not a golden casket since only seven were made. The fairies then offer their gifts of beauty, wit, grace, dance, song and music. The bad fairy, angry at being overlooked, places the princess under an enchantment as her gift: the princess will prick her hand on a spindle and die. One fairy who hadn't yet given her gift, uses it to reverse the evil fairy's curse, but she can only do so partially: instead of dying, the princess will fall into a deep sleep for 100 years and be awoken by a king's son. A hundred years pass and a prince from another family spies the hidden castle during a hunting expedition. His attendants tell him differing stories regarding the happenings in the castle until an old man recounts his father's words: within the castle lies a beautiful princess who is doomed to sleep for a hundred years, whereupon a king's son is to come and awaken her.

    What happens when the guy who’s afraid of love finds himself in it? Know what they say about never mixing business with pleasure? Yeah, no. The one about never sleeping with your boss? 
    I ignored it too. I blame Aslan Spearman, the boss. 
    He’s a wealthy playboy who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. He’s demanding, a workaholic, and cynical. He’d rather have a root canal than be in a romantic relationship. 
    Do you want to know a secret? I think he’s afraid of love. 
    So when he has to go to the Spearman family reunion in Hawaii with his girlfriend, he’s in big trouble. That’s what happens when you lie to your family about your relationship status. It wasn’t important—until now. 
    What does he do? He comes to me, his VP of Operations and right hand for assistance, of course. 
    After all, I’m a problem solver. Except my personal life is complete chaos. So we make a deal: I’ll be his girlfriend if he helps me solve my problems. 
    It’s a win-win situation, right? I mean, how hard can it be? It’s not like I plan on falling in love.
