'Her new client was devilishly handsome, superbly charming...and absolutely hiding something. Why else would a man as rich and powerful as Cristo Verón have any interest in the cleaning services of lowly Isabelle Browne? Her suspicions were confirmed when she discovered his real reason for hiring her. And suddenly, she was agreeing to a preposterous proposition....

'Cristo would protect his family at any cost–and keeping Isabelle close was key to his plan. Having her pose as his make-believe mistress was step one. But he hadn't counted on wanting to make the pretense a reality.'

'He needs a wife tonight, if not sooner. Enter Zara Lovett. His ex-fiancée's best friend Zara, who strode into Alex Carlisle's life on killer legs and lit up a powder keg in his gut. It was chemistry, the kind of powerful, explosive mix Alex made a habit of avoiding - until today. Because the fireworks between them changed nothing. He still needed to satisfy the terms of his father's will. That was his goal. That was his duty. That was what mattered. And he'd make sure Zara said yes.' (Publication summary)

Well, she'd wanted Tomas to imagine a better way.' (Publication summary)
