The Kingpin of Camelot

The Queen: Guinevere must save Camelot. Ever since Arthur died, the evil Scarecrow has been trying to marry her and gain the crown. If she and her daughter are going to survive his mad schemes, Gwen needs to find Merlyn's wand. Fast. Unfortunately, the only man strong enough to help her on her quest is Kingpin Midas, a flashy, uneducated mobster dealing with a curse. Gwen is a logical, rational woman, though, and she can draft one hell of a contract. She's pretty sure she can come up with an offer not even the kingdom's greatest villain can refuse. The Kingpin: Anything Midas touches turns to gold. Literally. The curse has helped him to rule Camelot's underworld with an iron fist. He has more money and more power than anyone else in the kingdom. He's convinced there's nothing he can't buy. One look at Gwen and Midas knows that he's about to make his most brilliant purchase, yet. He's about to own the one woman in the world he would give anything to possess. All he has to do to claim her is somehow win a war against the smartest man in Camelot, hide his growing feelings from Gwen, deal with his overprotective bodyguard's paranoia about the queen's hidden motivations, and adjust to a five year old demanding bedtime stories from a gangster. Simple, right? The Contract: Gwen's deal is simple: If Midas marries her, she'll make him King of Camelot. It's a fair bargain. Midas will keep her enemies away and she'll give him the respectability that money can't buy. She never expects Midas to agree so quickly. Or for their practical business arrangement to feel so... complicated. Midas isn't the tawdry, feral animal that Arthur railed against. He's a kind and gentle man, who clearly needs Gwen's help just as much as she needs his. In fact, the longer she's around Midas the more Gwen realizes that their "fake marriage" might be more real than she ever imagined.
