Romance

FIRST COMES MARRIAGE . . . THEN COMES LOVE? For Annie Brown, winning the lottery is a mixed blessing. While it's hard to argue with the extra fifty million in her bank account, she never expected to be besieged by a battalion of wanna-be husbands who pursue her all over town. Spirited and self-reliant to the core, she refuses to believe she's the kind of woman who needs a man to protect her--until hunky Detective Ryan Armstrong makes her an offer she can't refuse.

When Annie tells Ryan she won't press charges on a "harmless" admirer camped outside her house, Ryan thinks she's as naive as she is gorgeous. But after a frightening stalking incident leaves her shaken, Ryan comes up with a way to discourage her persistent suitors: pretend he and Annie are married. It isn't long though, before this practical arrangement turns passionate... and Ryan becomes determined to show his lovely "wife" that true love is her best protection.
