Carlton Reef wanted a bride – and Katie needed the money! His proposal was outrageous, but simple. He would pay her family's debts if Katie would agree to become his wife... . But what possible reason could this ruthless, sexy bachelor have for wanting sweet, gentle Katie?
She didn't trust him – yet she had no choice. Marriage was the only solution. But did Carlton intend to be a husband in name only, or did he expect Katie to honor their wedding bargain by sharing his bed?
Helen Brooks began writing in 1990 as she approached her 40th birthday! She realized her two teenage ambitions (writing a novel and learning to drive) had been lost amid babies and hectic family life, so set about resurrecting them. In her spare time she enjoys sitting in her wonderfully therapeutic, rambling old garden in the sun with a glass of red wine (under the guise of resting while thinking of course). Helen lives in Northampton, England with her husband and family.
