~ Synopsis ~
A five-minute trolley ride, one troublemaking
luggage, and two stolen identities. Six months later, two strangers discover
they’re married. She wants an annulment. He has other plans.
Being illegally hitched is about the only way Chase Lennox would ever be shackled to any woman. But when the multimillionaire playboy finds out he’s married to the woman who caused him to lose the biggest deal of his life, Chase decides before he gives his new wife an annulment, she’s going to help him close the deal he’d lost.
Jessina Landi has a three-foot radius comfort zone. The last man she let into it cost her a lot more than a broken heart. And the huge debt she owes for that trust, well, it’s due. If she takes Chase Lennox's up on his offer, it’s sure to cover the bill.
There’s an annulment waiting at the end of their rainbow… well, that’s if they can get through the next two weeks without consummating the marriage.

~ Excerpt ~
“Finish getting ready. We’re outta here in a
few minutes,” he said, then turned his back to her.
She struggled to retort from the total body
meltdown. “Are we heading back to your apartment?”
“Yes,” he said just as he disappeared from the
doorway.
“Good.” She raised her voice. “You can drop me
off at the bus stop then.”
Chase’s head swayed back in the doorway. “Come
again?”
“I’m going home, but I’ll be back in time for
Caplin’s arrival on Thursday.”
Chase stepped back into the room. “Why do you
want to go home?”
The question caught her off guard. She’d
assumed he’d be pleased to be rid of her. Nonetheless, telling him the truth
wasn’t an option. “As you said, the only reason we needed to spend time
together was so I could get to know you, so we can convince Caplin we’re
married.”
His forehead wrinkled. “And you feel like you
know me now?”
“Well enough to pull off a bullshit marriage,
yes.”
“Hmm.” He rubbed his chin, then dropped his
hand and took a step toward her. His intense regard held her captive.
She clung to those dark eyes, waiting for him
to say something.
“I don’t want you to go.” His low, husky words
resonated in her ears.
Her body hesitated, her heart skipped, and her
nerves stammered. She was convinced that all of her senses had failed her, because
she was sure she hadn’t heard him right. “What?”
“There’re a few more things you need to know
about me in order to successfully pull this off, Jessina.”
Every single one of her senses came back to
life as he approached her.
“Will you stay here with me just one more
night?” he asked, stopping in front of her. “So I can show them to you?”
“What?” Heat flushed through her body once
more. “What sort of things?”
Dark, ravishing eyes dropped to her mouth as he
drew a finger down the side of her cheek. It trailed along her neck, gently
grazing her shoulder and caressing the length of her arm. “The sort of things I
would do with my real wife.” He looked back up at her, his hand now settled on
her hip. The weight of his touch caused her stomach to clench with desire. His
hand shifted to the small of her back, and her next breath got caught in her
throat. “I want to show you how my wife would make me feel when I’m this close
to her.” He applied light pressure with his hand to her back, and the space
between them descended. Their bodies became one.
“Chase…” His name fell from her lips in a near
whisper when his hardness pressed into her tight-with-desire belly.
“Jessina…” he hissed back in a throaty murmur…
