First published 2012
Alexa McKenzie owns a bookstore and faces losing her family home. She casts a love spell in desperation. Instead of finding romance, she conjures up Nicholas Ryan, her best friend's older brother who broke her heart years ago. Nicholas inherited his father's business empire but needs a wife to claim it. He discovers Alexa's financial troubles and proposes a deal. They will marry for exactly one year. The marriage stays strictly business. No emotional attachments. No falling in love. Alexa gets the money to save her home. Nicholas gets his inheritance. Both believe they can follow the rules they set. The arrangement seems simple enough for twelve months. But their past connection and present proximity create complications neither anticipated.
