A dedicated doctor struggling to raise money for a much-needed community health clinic, Lucinda Brightwater is beginning to feel as though time is her enemy. Besides the clinic, she desperately wants a child, but how likely is that for a single thirty-four-year-old who works long hours—with no man on the horizon?

So when a man who’s hard to resist makes her an offer that’s hard to refuse, Lucinda agrees to marry Holden Fortune for one million dollars. The notorious bachelor needs a “respectable” wife in order to claim his inheritance. Lucinda needs her clinic. The terms?

One year. In name only. No strings. No strings, maybe, but there’s a lot of heat, making it hard for cooler heads to prevail, especially since it appears Lucinda’s other dream is now on its way….
