To adopt the little girl she'd come to love, Maddy Potter
needed a fiancé, not a husband. Luckily, she'd found the
ideal beau for her purpose: Clayton Kincaid had agreed to
court her, propose marriage, and then leave her at the
altar. But when he arrived on her doorstep she knew their
charade would never work. Clay was too handsome, too
smooth... too potent. Who would believe such a charming,
good-looking man wanted to woo her?
Clay had accepted Maddy's proposal to repay a family debt
of honor. He traveled to Missouri expecting to find a
reserved widow, not a beautiful young woman - a woman who
suggested that he comb his hair differently, mess up his
clothes a little, walk with a limp. She even had the
temerity to instruct him how to woo her! Clay knew he
could be the perfect suitor.
He didn't know he'd soon long to be the perfect husband.
