About the book
WHAT KYRA KNEW ABOUT MR. REDMAN:
�He was the company's corporate kingpin. �He took his coffee black--and bitter. �On Sunday he would become Kyra's husband!
Kyra Symington nearly fell out of her ergonomically correct secretary's chair when office dreamboat James Redman asked for her hand in marriage. Their union would be loveless and temporary, of course. She would never dream of sleeping next to her husband all night long...or indulging in more than a friendly peck on the cheek. Kyra had to keep her heart under strict supervision because James didn't always play fair when he wanted something...or someone!
