About the book
Was it only a business arrangement? Deborah had lost her money and her passport and she hadn't eaten in twenty-four hours. But should she accept the help of a stranger, especially one who exuded such total confidence in himself? Gil Hamilton's offer to help Deborah was genuine, but it came with conditions--he'd pay her to pretend to be his wife. The arrangement would help him out of a sticky situation and Deborah out of a precarious one. And, as he constantly reminded her, the arrangement was only temporary. Gil had no intention of really marrying a woman like Deborah. He wanted a sensible wife!
