All she has to do is pretend they're engaged. But what if she never wants it to end? Marilyn Ross is at a loss for how she ever agreed to pose as a total stranger's fianc00e9e. Except Douglas Fountain isn't just any stranger. He's the CEO and high-profile heir apparent to a billion-dollar corporate empire . . . and he's drop-dead gorgeous. And it's their irresistible attraction that makes her do something completely out of character. But from the moment their lips meet, Marilyn knows she wants more than a sham engagement. She wants something she can never have.  Doug just got the ultimatum: marry or forfeit his share of his family dynasty. And he doesn't just need a wife—he also needs a son to carry on his name. After an early disastrous marriage, though, he would rather strike a deal than risk his heart. But once the slender, jade-eyed Marilyn kisses him, he can't deny the spark. Can Doug turn their temporary business arrangement into a permanent partnership?
