An innocent...
Tia Grayson has never known life outside the Brazilian convent she calls home. Until Max Leonelli arrives with the shocking news that she is heiress to an English fortuneâand ignites a burning need for his touch...
A billionaire...
Tiaâs grandfather expects a match between his protégée and his heirâbut Max is not a marrying man. Until the sight of Tiaâs ravishing beauty has him reconsidering...
A baby?
Max must escort Tia home, but desire soon overtakes them. After one incendiary night, the potential for consequences gives Max the perfect opportunity to claim Tia as his bride!
Max stiffened, squaring his wide shoulders, flattening his handsome mouth. If he did marry Tia, as Andrew had urged him to do, no actual wedding would take place for months. Max refused to rush into anything. Max liked structure, order, strategic planning. He didnât do impulse or invite disruption in any field, and would never have scaled the heights he had without serious self-discipline.
The limo drew up outside the brightly lit hotel. Max sprang out first, and then disconcerted her by peeling off his suit jacket and draping it round her shoulders as she emerged from the car.
âIs that really necessary?â Tia enquired, reeling a little and struggling to find her balance in the ridiculous heels as fresh air engulfed her.
âSì... If you can turn me on this hard and fast, when Iâm striving to stay cool, I imagine other men will stare too, and I am assuming you would prefer not to be stared at and lusted after,â Max murmured in a raw undertone, astonishing her with the abrupt and unexpected admission. âOn the other hand, if you enjoy being the centre of male attention, give me my jacket back... Itâs entirely your decision.â
She turned him on. Tia was exhilarated by that grated confession and clutched self-protectively at his jacket, revelling in the intimacy of the silk lining, still warm from his skin, and the faint evocative fragrance of his cologne that still clung to the fabric. She breathed that fragrance in like an addict. The attraction was mutual.
Conveniently wedded, passionately bedded!
Whether thereâs a debt to be paid, a will to be obeyed or a business to be saved...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 easy...
Soon their convenient brides become the objects of an inconvenient desire!

âITâS A VERY big favour and I have no right to ask it of you,â Andrew Grayson admitted ruefully, angling his wheelchair closer to the fire, his pale worn face taut.
Max Leonelli, a multimillionaire financier at the age of twenty-eight, who had known Andrew since he first entered his household at the age of twelve, frowned. âAnything,â he declared, without hesitation in making that pledge.
Andrew surveyed the younger man with quiet pride. It was way too late to admit that he should have married Maxâs aunt and adopted him. His housekeeperâs nephew had come into his life as a homeless adolescent, traumatised, frightened and distrustful. No sign of those traits was to be seen in the powerful and sophisticated businessman Max had become.
