title: Spinning Sex into Gold
author: Troyer, Cate
description: When Giselle's father makes a drunken boast within earshot of the local Lord's guardsmen, she finds herself locked in a room with a bundle of hay and a spinning wheel.  On the bright side, she has a quick path to a good marriage.  All she has to do is spin the straw into gold.  With this impossible task before her, she jumps at the opportunity given by a mysterious, small man who appears from the shadows.  What he wants in payment, though, is a taste of the delectable, juicy virgin.
  EXCERPT:
  They had hauled her through the city to the manor house, planting her next to her father in front of Lord Eric.
  “Your father has promised you can spin gold from straw,” he said, eying her up and down.
  “W-what,” Giselle gaped, throwing a panicked look at her father.
  “If you cannot, both of you will be punished.  Your father will be hung in the town square as a warning against lying and you will be turned over to the guards’ pleasure.  If you can, however, I will make you my lady.  You’ll go from a drunkard’s daughter to the lady of this realm.  Do you understand?”
