Billionaire CEO Roxanne Medina has conquered small-town bullies, Princeton snobs, and boardrooms of white male executives who looked down on her Mexican-American ancestry. Mothering a princess—and feeling a little less lonely at the top—is her next rightful adventure. The self-made billionaire feels the bargain she offers the prince is reasonable: After three nights a month in her bed for a year, she will divorce him with a settlement large enough to save the small Spanish principality that means everything to him. She gets everything she wants—a fairy-tale heir born into a perfectly crafted world—and nothing she doesn't, namely a man who could ruin her perfectly crafted fairy tale. In jeans and dirty muck boots, Prince Mateo Ferdinand Juan Carlos de Esperanza y Santos goes to the billionaire's corner office to tell her to shove it. He's one of the top winegrowers in the world, and he's not marrying and having a baby with a stranger, even if the millions she's offering could save his once-legendary wine-producing principality. Once there, however, he realizes the successful, single-minded beauty has a weapon he hadn't counted on: his own desire. Give in to this naughty nightmare or keep his soul? Maybe once, he can have a taste of Roxanne Medina. Okay, twice. But he's certain that too many nights in bed with the powerful, intelligent woman will destroy him and everything he values. What begins as instant carnal attraction for billionaire Roxanne Medina and Príncipe Mateo Esperanza transforms over the course of three nights, once a month, for a year, into something neither planned nor wanted—but that both need more than money or kingdom.

      What starts as a million-dollar contract leads to real feelings in Lopez’s steamy contemporary debut. Billionaire Roxanne Medina doesn’t want a relationship, but she does want a baby. Mateo de Esperanza, the crown prince of Monte del Vino Real, is struggling to keep his kingdom afloat. When Roxanne learns of Mateo’s financial crisis, she offers him a deal. She’ll bankroll his country if he’ll marry her and help her to conceive a royal child. Her terms are clear: they’ll spend three days a month together and have sex only for conception. After the press finds out about the marriage, the pair are forced to spend more time together to keep up appearances. As sparks fly between them, the CEO of a resort threatens to leak Roxanne’s contract with Mateo and reveal the true nature of their relationship if she won’t sell him half the country. The only hope to save the kingdom and their marriage is for Mateo and Roxanne to work together. Though the plot meanders in the second half, the romance burns slow and hot throughout. Fans of fake-relationship romances will delight in this fresh spin on the trope. Agent: Sara Megibow, KT Literary.

      Scarlette Hayes narrates a romance that flips a prevailing trope on its head. Billionaire Roxanne Medina wants to have a baby; Pr�ncipe Mateo wants to save his country. While their relationship is initially quite contentious, Hayes lets listeners hear how it gradually develops into something far more complex and passionate as they get to know each other. Mateo has spent a significant portion of his life abroad, and Spanish is his first language, so Hayes gives him the barest hint of an accent--unlike Roxanne, who was raised in the Midwest. Mateo's younger sister, Sofia, steals every scene she is in, and Hayes clearly relishes giving voice to the reformed party girl. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
