About the book
She wanted a divorce!!
But her husband didn't. Nickie Stellar couldn't believe it. They were mismatched --- she was plain, Jason was spectacular; she was quiet and shy, he was confident and outgoing. Why had he ever married her? Oh, she'd been useful to him in his business, but when their love had been tested, he'd failed her...
Jason couldn't lose the best thing that had ever happened to him. But Nickie refused to believe he wanted only her. He planned to use his one advantage --- the explosive chemistry between them. Nickie could have the divorce on one condition: a trial reconciliation... in the bedroom
