Every girl deserves
her fairy tale…sometimes it’s a bit of a challenge getting the prince to
comply.

and virtuous. With allegiant attributes as these, thirty-eight year old Dr.
Jude Duffy was officially a golden retriever, a civil war general or a nun.

ruined no more. Jude Duffy is ready for a magical change in her life. She
doesn’t need a man to achieve her desires. She only needs his sperm. And as a
scientist, she is no stranger to research.
It’s not every day a
guy is offered money for sex by a vivacious, red-headed virgin. But today
must be bad-boy Beckette Slader’s lucky day. Regardless of her centerfold body,
inquisitive mind, and smart mouth, Jude Duffy is hands-off material. She
doesn’t know it, but he’d ruined her life once. There was no way in hell would
he do it again. His demons were too big to share, his recovery too new.
Tangling with Jude Duffy would be flirting with disaster.
