A convenient wife... An inconvenient love...

Francesca walked into the room and Guy Dymoke was mesmerized. But she was pregnant with his brother's baby. An impossible situation...and Guy had been hiding his feelings ever since.

Years later, Francesca is now a widow, and when the will is read she's stunned to discover she's been placed into Guy's safekeeping...as his convenient wife! Guy wants to give Francesca and her son all the care in the world. He also yearns to tell her how much he really loves her. But he'll wait for the day that she gives her love freely in return....

The Marriage Miracle

For a few minutes, he'd talked to her as if she was whole. Saying things that no one else would have dreamed of saying. Asking her if she tap-danced.... And even when he'd realized that tap dancing was not, never would be, part of her repertoire he hadn't changed, hadn't started talking to her as if she was witless. Dinner with him would have been a rare pleasure. Sitting together at a candlelit table, she could have pretended for a few dizzy hours that on the outside she was like any other woman. The way she was deep inside. With the same longings. The same desire to be loved, to have a man hold her, make love to her. She closed her eyes for a moment, shutting out the reminders that she was not, would never be, like other women. Then, with a deep breath, she opened them again. He'd been there, in her head since the moment he'd taken her hand, held it a touch too long. Been there the minute she'd stopped concentrating on something else.
