He set out to seduce her for all the wrong reasons --
but found himself falling in love with her for all the
right ones.
Alex Knight is dead -- or so everyone thinks. A widowed
logger baron with a risk-taking streak, he took on a South
American engineering project and was reported dead after a
rebel attack. So when he turns up back in Maine very much
alive, his grieving family is shocked. But the biggest
shock is Alex's, when he discovers he's now married -- to a
woman he's never met.
Sarah Banks is ready for a change from running a quiet Bed
& Breakfast, and working for the Knight family offers not
only a bigger opportunity, but also the family life she
yearns for. So she's glad to help secure custody of Alex's
orphaned children, whom she's come to love, by marrying
their father by proxy before he's legally declared dead.
But when Alex returns, the sexy, determined woodsman upends
all of Sarah's plans. Because suddenly she's married to a
passionate stranger with an easy smile...and tumbling
headlong into a fiery dance of seduction.
