About the book
Instant fatherhood! Wildly good-looking Noah Barrett is a dream of a hired husband. Affectionate, caring, he should easily convince Sally Johnson's visiting family that he's a doting father for Sally's soon-to-be-born baby!
Their "pretend marriage" is supposed to be a temporary arrangement. Only, there's nothing pretend about Noah's very physical response to Sally! And she can't help wishing this was The Real Thing. But how will she react when it turns out that nothing about Noah is as she believes?
