One last client and she will leave everything behind, until her client puts her in the same room as the one and only untouchable man. "Did you think it'd be so easy?" I hate to admit defeat to Fabian. But he was right, I did think it would be so easy. "When will you ever learn Lennox?" "I told you it is Ms.Klein to you." His hand grabbed my wrist, applying only a bit of pressure that sped my heart up. "I don't understand..these games you play. You know I always win but you still test me. Do you really have no idea what I am capable of?" "Do your worst." I tried to spit out the words with animosity but all that came were bated breaths. "Remember what you asked for Lennox."

Pariza Keita is a wrecking ball with great bouncy curls, a fiery attitude and an inability to commit. When she crashes into a charming stranger at the swanky event she is bartending at, Pariza ends the night in a passionate (and drunk) one-night stand with him. And wakes up hungover with a ring pop on her finger, a sexy man in her bed and a (very real) marriage certificate taped to her hand-me-down fridge. To her horror, Pariza discovers that the stranger is a little less than charming- he's an infuriating(ly sexy) prince who's easier to tolerate when you're hammered (and horny). Crown Prince Darius of Bedoria is many things: a sinful playboy, a defiant prince and exhausted with his mother's quest to get him married, so he can rule. So, he runs away to America and ends up getting drunk with a sexy bartender. And wakes up legally married to her. Getting the best (or worst) idea yet, Prince Darius offers the clumsy girl an ultimatum: get slapped with the biggest lawsuit of existence or pretend to be the worst fiancée in history- sleep around, party and be as rude as possible- all so his mother refuses his only choice for a bride. Little did he know that Pariza Keita was a disaster, a disaster he can't get out of his head. Can the two of them manage to pull off this epic quest? Will their stirring feelings for each other get in the way? Or will this be a royal disaster going down in history? COPYRIGHT © MARIEDILLBOOKS
