Gah, I've got a mostly done fic that *started* with a Harlequin prompt but it's gotten very angsty. It will meet the technical requirements of this challenge but not the spirit, I feel. Alas!

So I guess I'll have to write a different one :) Date, hmm...I think I need to go early so I don't run up against travel for my niece's bat mitzvah. How about August 20?

Fandom is up in the air, but darn it, I think this year I'll finally get around to writing this prompt, which I've had staring at me since the 2014 challenge:

The Virgin's Proposal - Shirley Jump

HOW COULD HE TURN DOWN A BANANA IN DISTRESS?

Successful rebel Matt Webster came to make peace with his past and his family. But he'd never thought that to appear "respectable," he'd become the pretend fiancé of a banana-wearing storeowner! Yet how could he refuse spunky Katie Dole, the woman under the costume, when she kissed him so sweetly— and so thoroughly—in the spaghetti aisle of the supermarket?
Her blue-green gaze implored him to play the role of lover to show up her ex-fiancé. But remembering the kisses they shared were supposed to be pretend became more difficult, when all Matt wanted to do was to make love to the appealing Katie! Was the virgin's proposal turning into something…real?
