Georgia Page plans to move to Ireland to be near her sister
Laura who is married to Ronan and just gave birth to Fiona.
After visiting her sister a number of times in the past
year and hating to go back to California. She has nothing
there that she will miss; she has a real estate business
and an ex, neither of these things she cares about. This
now feels like home. Helping her with the new home and
setting up her design business is Ronan's cousin Sean
Connolly. He's also been a form of temptation that Georgia
has fought for a long time. After acting on this
attraction, they decide to continue with no strings, no
expectations just two adults enjoying each other.
Sean offers AN OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSAL after his mother is
rushed to the hospital with a heart attack and tells him
she's worried she'll leave him alone. Sean finds himself
telling her he won't be and he'll tell her more about his
fiancée when she's better. Trouble is he's lying; there is
no fiancée, at least not until he gets Georgia to agree to
a faux engagement.
In a fit of revenge against her ex and his fiancée, who
sent her a tacky e-vite to their upcoming wedding, Georgia
accepts his proposal. It doesn't take long before the whole
thing starts snowballing on them. Sean's mother sees the
priest and has the banns read, cake is ordered, there's
even a marriage pool being played and neither of them is
sure how to get out of it ... or if they really want to.
AN OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSAL is a well written romance with
likeable characters. You are compelled to keep reading just
to see what else is going to happen to corner these two
adults. Ms. Child's way with words has you drinking in the
atmosphere of the little village and getting to know the
people there until you really want to go to Ireland to see
if such a place exists.
When Georgia Page accepts Sean Connolly\'s proposal, she
knows it\'s crazy. But surely she can pretend to be a
self-made billionaire\'s fiancé e for a little while, just
until his mother regains her health. Surely she can keep her
heart out of this affair, no matter how sexy he is-or how
well he plays the devoted lover.
It all seems so simple-until their pretend kisses and fake
embraces lead to something all too real, something neither
of them expected. Something that could turn an outrageous
proposal into wedding bells...
