About the book
ELIGIBLE TYCOON SEEKS PERFECT BRIDE! Damon Alexakis had looks, wealth, power. What he didn't have was a suitable wife... Kate McKee was the perfect choice. Beautiful, intelligent, she was the adored nanny of his sister's twins; and she was stunned by Damon's proposal! But what choice did she have? To fend off her father's matchmaking efforts, she'd invented a mystery lover-but would her pretense backfire? The only solution was to accept Damon's extraordinary deal: for one year only, she'd share his life, but not his bed-at least, that was Kate's interpretation. Damon had other ideas!
