My bad luck with men is a joke in my family.

Can you believe my daughter at twenty thinks I'm the naive one about men? And my mother agrees with her! Conn warning me every three seconds about my stagnant libido doesn't help either. What difference does it make to them if I'm dating or not?

Turning forty didn't make me extra picky and people need to stop judging me for saying no. Colonel Benson is happily married, and I turned down the sexy elf Conn dangled in front of me on principle. I don't have time to deal with ancient winged creatures, eccentric Fairie Folk, and back stabbing demons playing matchmaker.

The last thing I need is another man trying to ruin my life. Jack Derringer did a bang-up job of that already.

Speaking of my ex, and I really wish I didn't need to, but it seems Jack is involved in something extremely shady. Plus, he may have sent me to prison to line his wallet. Should I be flattered that my absence was worth so much to someone?

No one's paying me to help them these days, but I still need to sort this all out, find a way to permanently lose the guy I divorced, and maybe find the one that flew away from me before he gets captured again.

40 Ways to Lose a Guy is an exhilarating new paranormal women's fiction tale from USA Today Bestselling Author Donna McDonald.
