About the book
"Mr. van Diemen, I want to become your wife." Penny's proposal of a temporary marriage of convenience shocked British business tycoon Saul van Diemen. Well, Penny conceded, he'd only met her once and had hardly approved of her then. But now Penny needed Saul to gain legal custody of her recently orphaned niece. As the child's godfather, Saul just had to say yes. Although if he did agree, Penny knew that this outwardly perfectly desirable, dynamic male--embittered by his first wife's betrayal--would be no "perfect" stranger to live with!
