<p><strong><em>A marriage of convenience between a dirty-talking prince and the socially awkward scientist who brings him to his knees...</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.</p><p><br></p><p>But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxietyit's a horror story.</p><p><br></p><p>Prince Torin O'Grady with his mischievous blue eyes and cocky grin is always in the spotlight. And he needs to marry me to inherit the crown.</p><p><br></p><p>But we have nothing in common. He's a future king. And I'm perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.</p><p><br></p><p>So why can't I stop thinking about him?</p><p><br></p><p>Maybe because he won't stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.</p><p><br></p><p>And there's also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.</p><p><br></p><p>Well I could probably&nbsp;<em>work</em>&nbsp;for him.</p><p><br></p><p>And if I have to marry him&nbsp;<em>temporarily&nbsp;</em>to get what we both want then fine. It's for the greater good.</p><p><br></p><p>It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the&nbsp;<em>royal treatment&nbsp;</em>he gives me in the bedroom.</p><p><br></p><p>Fine. Maybe it does. Still it's only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal boring behind-the-scenes life.</p><p><br></p><p>But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally&nbsp;<em>his</em>.</p><p><br></p>
