Sheâd just whispered one word. âPlease.â
Cruz De Carrillo cannot forget the searing kiss he shared with his shy maid, Trinity Adams. For the moment the Spanish billionaire walked away, horrified at losing his legendary control, Trinity quickly moved onâto become nanny, guardian and stepmother to his brotherâs sons!
Now Cruz must protect his orphaned nephews. When Trinity refuses to leave them, he knows there is one solutionâa ring on her finger! Itâs the only way Cruz can keep her in his castillo, under his watchful eye, and finish what he startedâthis time in his bed!
Cruz only had a second of seeing Trinityâs eyes widen with shock before his mouth crashed down onto hers.
For a long moment nothing existed except this pure, spiking shard of lustâso strong that he had no option but to move his mouth and haul her even closer, until he could feel every luscious curve pressed against him.
And it was only in that moment, when their mouths were fused and he could feel her heart clamouring against his chest, that he could finally recognise the truth: heâd been aching for this moment since the night heâd kissed her for the first time.
Wedlocked!
Conveniently wedded, passionately bedded!
Whether thereâs a debt to be paid, a will to be obeyed or a business to be savedâ¦
Sheâs got no choice but to say, âI do!â
But these billionaire bridegrooms have got another think coming if they think marriage will be that easyâ¦
Soon their convenient brides become the object of an inconvenient desire!

Thank you all!
PROLOGUE
CRUZ DE CARRILLO SURVEYED the thronged reception room in his London home, filled with a veritable whoâs who of Londonâs most powerful players and beautiful people, all there to celebrate his return to Europe.
He felt no sense of accomplishment, though, to be riding high on the crest of his stratospheric success in North America, having tripled his eponymous bankâs fortunes in less than a year, because he knew his zealous focus on work had more to do with avoiding this than the burning ambition heâd harboured for years to turn his family bankâs fortune and reputation around.
And it killed him to admit it.
This was standing just feet away from him nowâtall and slender, yet with generous curves. Pale skin. Too much pale skin. Exposed in a dress that left far too little to the imagination. Cruzâs mouth compressed with distaste even as his blood ran hot, mocking him for the desire which time hadnât diminishedâmuch to his intense irritation. It was unwelcome and completely inappropriate. Now more than ever. She was his sister-in-law.
Her blonde hair was up in a sleek chignon and a chain of glittering gold trailed tantalisingly down her naked back, bared in a daring royal blue backless dress. She turned slightly in Cruzâs direction and he had to tense every muscle to stave off the surge of fresh desire when he saw the provocative curves of her high full breasts, barely disguised by the thin draped satin.
