Erin: Cinderella had it easy. I'm lying to millions of people, and it's all Silas's fault.

Yes, that Silas. Billionaire, prince, scandals galore, downright royal bastard-everything that screams run. If only it weren't for his rock-hard edges and wild tattoos, tempting anything female on all seven continents.

But I don't care about his looks. Really. Our deal is simple. He needs a pretty little lie, a wife to cover up his dirty deeds. I need a fortune to buy the treatment that just might save my father's life.

Silas: It's almost perfect. An engagement with an American girl, desperate as she is beautiful. Anything goes with Erin, except one rule: Her body's off limits. She's joking, right?

I convinced her to wear my ring, easy. I'll get her clothes off next. Show her what the world's most infamous player does when he's on fire. Then I'll move on. No more playing castle. I'll have my princess with benefits on her knees, treating me like royalty . . .

Contains mature themes.
