Description

She’s marrying her billionaire boss…for a green card

All work and no play for reasons he won’t talk about, CEO Warren Garinger keeps his company at the top. And he needs his ace marketing consultant, Australian Tilda Barrett, to stay in the States despite an immigration mix-up. His solution: a marriage in name only. New problem: beneath Tilda’s staid suits and severe buns lies the sexiest woman he’s ever met. Now their brief wedding kiss is all he can think about and Warren vows to not only marry his convenient wife but bed her, too…

Excerpt

“This is a very unusual garden,” she remarked, pointedly not looking at their joined hands. But she didn’t pull away. “Do you spend a lot of time in it?”

He couldn’t help but smile, both at the hilariousness of the question and the fact that she’d fallen into personal conversation in a snap, exactly as he’d hoped. “My groundskeeper occasionally consults me on things like whether I’d like to change out the annuals, but no. For the most part, it’s just magic that I enjoy occasionally when I remember that it’s here.”

“If this was my house, I’d be out on this terrace all the time.”

And that was as telling a comment as any. “You are aware of the fact that you live here, yes?”

She smiled. “Not permanently. And, yes, I don’t seem capable of forgetting the fact that I now live here. With you.”

The landscape lighting did her no favors when it came to hiding the blush that sprang up, spreading across her cheeks and into her hairline. It was as becoming as it was intriguing. She clearly didn’t like to discuss personal matters, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on whether it was because she didn’t like to give up details or because she worried that she’d say the wrong thing.

“Yes, that’s an important part of the equation. We live here together. Have you not ever lived with a man before?”

She shook her head and, lo and behold, one rebel strand of hair escaped her severe hairstyle, floating down to graze her cheek. And of course that made him wonder why she always shellacked her hair into place when there was at least part of it that didn’t want to conform to its mistress’s will.

The hank of hair caught his gaze and he couldn’t stop thinking about what her hair might look like down. Better yet, what it might look like with his fingers shoved through it.

And that was the tipping point. He wanted to touch.

He reached out to sweep the strand from her cheek.
