Sexy, bold Bella Fleur Contatore meets pure temptation at eighteen--but temptation himself, John Breten Lawless, ex- navy pilot isn't interested. His only interest in her is the job he has been assigned to do: keeping her out of trouble until her twenty-first birthday--a condition of his employment with her grandfather.
John believes he has completed his tour of duty when the firebrand, Bella, becomes twenty-one. She begins a career in Antiquities Archeology and has no more need of his protection.
But the wishes of Bella's deceased grandfather bring them together again in a way that shocks them both: A marriage of convenience with a twist. If they don't wed, Bella will be left penniless. John drags his feet, but marries the woman most likely to give him ulcers instead of a happily ever after.
