About the book
Could she resist him? Jeger Urquart was in need...of a woman! A millionaire executive, he could command almost anything, but this time only a woman's touch - and, more particularly, Fennia's - would do. Jeger needed a temporary nanny for his niece, Lucie, and Fennia had a special bond with the little girl. Fennia simply couldn't refuse to help - she just had to resist slipping into the role of temporary wife as well!
