When Libby Sinclair secretly hires Mitch to protect her granddaughter, he can’t believe his luck. Protecting Gina will absolve his clan from a centuries old debt, and give him a chance to surreptitiously search for the key. Posing as a mild-mannered accountant, he moves into the estate to conduct an inventory, and finds his hands full trying to protect Gina from danger. From the moment they meet, Gina is suspicious, yet curiously attracted to him. Can Little Red can turn the tables and tame the Wolf

CINDY REVISITED: Cynthia Jane Taylor is a twenty-nine-year-old virgin.

On top of that, she’s had to fend off Randal Industries’ increasingly aggressive attempts to buy the property. When a trio of smiling ladies show up at her door on the night of the Policeman’s Ball, she gratefully accepts their offer of a Fairy Godmother’s Makeover. At the dance, she spots “the” bad boy, the star of her teenage fantasies, and decides to seduce him. Jake Randal has quietly slipped into town to investigate the corruption at his father’s company. He’s instantly smitten when he locks eyes with Cyn, but soon finds out she isn’t the experienced seductress she claims to be. Plus, she slips away after their interlude is interrupted, and he’s determined to track her down. She’s left one clue behind, her gold panties. Now all he has to do is find the redhead who fits them.
