BLURB:
Jack
Sutton needs a wife and he needs one now. Jack loved his mother, but she really
screwed him over when she set up her will. If Jack doesn’t have a wife by the
end of the week, he’ll lose control of the largest chunk of voting stock in his
company and will most likely lose his position as CEO as a result.
And
Jack’s Aunt Mabry is waiting in the wings to make sure that the terms of the
will are enforced. If he doesn’t find a wife, she’ll seize control of the stock
so she can install her own son at the helm and she couldn’t care less that her
son doesn’t want the job or that he probably won’t be any good at it.
Enter
Kelly Bradley, a twenty eight year old college graduate with a spot at Yale Law
School but no way to pay for it. Kelly and Jack’s eavesdropping secretary have
discovered Jack’s secret need for a wife and Kelly comes up with a plan to fix
both of their problems.
Just
when Jack needs her, Kelly breezes into his office, introduces herself to his
Aunt and cousin, and hands Jack an offer. She will marry him for a year so that
he can retain the stock that will keep him in control of Sutton Development if
he’ll pay for her to go to law school. Jack has no idea where his beautiful
savior came from or who she is but he’s willing to take a chance to save it
all.
The
deal may have kept Jack in control at Sutton Development but his private life
quickly spirals out of control. Just when Jack realizes that he wants more than
a year with Kelly, his wealth puts her in great danger and he is left
scrambling to save her life and their future together.
Excerpt:
“We’re here to meet Jack’s fiancé,” a smug-looking Mabry
announced to Chad and Jack watched a bemused expression come over his cousin’s
face.
Chad had to be wondering what the hell was going on. He and
Jack were more like brothers than cousins, so if Jack were getting married,
Chad should have been the first to know.
Oh, shit. I’m never gonna’ hear the end of this from him.
So there they sat, waiting for an introduction to a fiancé
that Jack had never mentioned to Chad and a fiancé that Chad had never set eyes
on.
Jack leaned forward in his chair, took a deep breath and
prepared to come clean. Just then his secretary’s voice cut in and he could
swear he heard her say that his fiancé was here.
His head whipped around and he stared open-mouthed at the
phone, unable to process what was going on. Jack’s experience in business had
taught him to school his expressions and hide his thoughts from those around
him and though he was shocked, he did just that. He quickly hid all emotion
from his face as he listened to his secretary.
“Sir, did you hear me? Mr. Sutton? Your fiancé has just
arrived. Shall I show her in?” Jennie spoke again.
Andrew. Andrew must have sent him a fiancé. How in the hell
had Andrew found him a fiancé? I mean, how does one go about that, Jack
thought. Oh God, what if Andrew sent him a prostitute?
