I’m having the worst time getting rid of my V-card.
I tried all through college with no luck.
But I just landed my dream job with four other new hires. We all live on site at a castle hotel, and I know I have to do the deed, because I can’t break this seal with someone who might blab about it to my coworkers.
So the night before my first day, I head to a Colorado bar and decide to sleep with the first person I see.
I know. Terrible plan.
But I wind up dancing with a smokin’ hot local at least a decade older than me with the experience to match.
The night is memorable. Easy-going. A perfect first time.
And I never have to see him again. Never have to explain myself.
I show up for my new job with the best feeling about the direction life is headed, until the first staff meeting at the castle.

Ladies, you’ve never had a first date quite like this. He’s a billionaire. Desperately handsome Wildly charismatic.
In fact, a certain article of clothing of mine has gotten quite damp. Except… It’s not the good kind of damp. Actually, I’m suddenly very, very wet. Oh no.
I’ve left out something important. I’m nine months pregnant. Don’t ask about the father. I’d rather forget.
But I’m sitting in the fanciest restaurant you can imagine. Opposite the man of my dreams. It’s our first time alone together. The start of something spectacular. And… My water just broke. ___
Tasty Mango is a standalone romantic comedy about going into labor on a first date with a billionaire, the ensuing hilarity (and pushing) in a very expensive limo, and trying to manage a new relationship with the world’s most eligible bachelor while cleaning spit up out of your hair.
I’ve always pictured this moment. Me, in a little black dress. My hair swept into a perfect chignon. An exclusive restaurant filled with elegant diners.
China clinks. Crystal glasses gleam on linen tablecloths.
Seated opposite me is the ideal man. Tall, dark, handsome.
Custom suit. Gold cufflinks. He’s charming and witty. Wildly successful in business. And he only has eyes for me.
It could have been the greatest first date of my life. Except.
My belly is too big to let me pull up to the table properly.
The baby is kicking like crazy for me to eat something — NOW.
And a funny trickle of wetness is forming deep in the recesses of my panties.
And not the good kind. Am I peeing myself?
“Havannah, are you okay?” Donovan McDonald pauses, his water goblet halfway to his lips. He’s a gentleman, so he’s not drinking wine since I can’t.
His eyes are on me, his thick brows knitted in concern. His gaze dips to the table’s edge, where I’m hunched, trying to hide my bump. I’m desperately trying to appear like a normal date from the chest up.
“Perfect!” I say, keeping my voice as chipper as possible. I shift on the chair, making sure my legs are hidden by the tablecloth. I spread my knees in hopes that I can air dry.
Pregnancy is a beast.
But I have a few days to go until I’m due, and I hear first babies are always late. I’ve vowed to be nothing but chic and put together on this date. He’ll see my elegance, my poise —
Uh oh. Another squirt of wetness slips out.
How can this be? I peed right before I came. I’m not coughing, or laughing too hard, or sneezing.
I push my cloth napkin under the tablecloth and shove it up under my dress. Sorry, fancy restaurant. I’m stealing this. It’s an emergency.
To be honest, if I had known what was about to go down, I would have left right then.
But I didn’t.
And you’re not going to believe what happens next.
