Jilted at the altar, Katie Dole pours her heart and soul into her business. Dressed as a banana, Katie witnesses the return to town of bad-boy Matt Webster. Just once Katie wishes she had the courage to walk on the wild side. When Katie meets her ex-fiancé, and the woman he dumped her for, Katie grabs Matt and proclaims him to be her new fiancé, then gives Matt a soul-searing kiss. Propelled by his father's heart attack, Matt realizes after eleven years it's time to put away the past and grow up. Matt agrees to help Katie through her ex's wedding by posing as her new love, but Katie doesn't realize she's made a pact with the devil of Mercy. THE VIRGIN'S PROPOSAL is Shirley Jump's Silhouette debut, and it's a winner! Readers will swoon over bad-boy Matt and fall head over heels right along with Katie. There's nothing like a reformed bad boy for a winning hero.
