187 pages
A high-stakes game of mutual deception melts into a passionate, emotionally charged battle of wills.
What it feels like
Reading this classic category romance feels like indulging in a deliciously soapy, high-stakes emotional chess match. The brisk pace pulls you immediately into a web of mutual deception, where both protagonists believe they hold all the cards in a purely transactional affair. The mood is steamy and intensely charged, crackling with the friction of two fiercely independent, commitment-phobic people colliding. The prose is direct and unashamedly dramatic, focusing entirely on the palpable chemistry and internal angst of the characters rather than sprawling world-building. It is a perfect, escapist read for fans of vintage romance tropes who love watching cynical walls crumble, delighting in the inevitable moment when a carefully calculated arrangement spirals into messy, undeniable love.

About the book
She wanted a baby--but not a man!
After Miles met Maddie, she stayed on his mind. In the end he returned to Australia to get Maddie out of his ystem by bedding her for 6 months or so-marriage would never be part of his agenda.
Which suited Maddie just fine. She adored men, but had no faith in them-and had no intention of marrying, either. But she did so want a baby! And Miles had all the qualities Maddie wanted in the father of her child: brains, breeding and beauty...Not that she would ever let him know...
