About the book
What would compel 32 year old millionaire playboy Nick Valente to marry a woman he hadn't seen in years? Blackmail, of course. To keep his family home, Nick must marry the woman of his father's choosing: 25 year old Londoner Sasha Blake, a long-ago flame. Sasha had been barely 18, but there had been nothing immature about her then—or his desire for her. Now she would be his wife, and Nick would be free to make love to her as often and any way he liked. But there was one nagging question in his mind...
He knew his reasons for agreeing to this marriage...what were hers?
