About the book
"You can't blackmail me to the altar!"
Rosie's plea was desperate. It had seemed so simple -- pretending to be her twin sister for just a few days. But her sister's fiance didn't take kindly to being tricked!
Morgan Urquart, 35, was a proud, merciless man -- and he was determined to punish Rosie. He needed a dutiful, convenient wife... and Rosie, 22, seemed the perfect candidate!
