Romance

Maggie Ryan, a male underwear model photographer, has a history of disastrous dates but longs for something more. Her past history leaves her with panic attacks which she constantly struggles to deal with. Her best friend Alexa, now married to her brother Nick, professes that it all became reality because of her book on "Love Spells" after following the steps suggested. Maggie secretly lists her qualities of the perfect man she wants and the list is dismissed as silly and pushed under her mattress.

Michael Conte is in New York getting ready to launch the family's first U.S. Bakery "La Dolce Famiglia", an extension of the home business in Italy. Michael has everything the heart desires including women falling at his feet—if only he didn't become restless after his dates have left him feeling unsatisfied. Being the head of family since his father's death presents a problem when one of his sisters wants to marry. Family tradition and a promise to his father dictate that he himself must marry first. This begins the string of events which lead Michael to strike a bargain with Maggie to pose as his "fake wife" and travel to Italy thus clearing the way for his sister to marry. Maggie bargains to extract a promise that Michael will stay away from her sister-in-law whom she believes he is in love with. The wonderful and warm Conte family is not what Maggie expected and she is soon feeling like she belongs. Neither Maggie nor Michael is able to ignore the hot sexual chemistry as the inevitable happens with toe curling sex that overtakes their common sense. Both realize love for the other but Maggie cannot trust a man, given her past with the opposite sex. Finally back in New York, Michael has to make one last attempt to break through her defenses and chooses the grand opening of the bakery in his attempt.

Jennifer Probst writes an amusing and fiery tale of a love denied by two strong willed people. Explicit sex keeps THE MARRIAGE TRAP boiling hot! A hot rich Italian is every woman's dream come true. This one will take you away from your everyday life and give you excitement in the world of the elite. This author has a way with words to keep you glued to the book and determined to finish this one in one sitting! Jennifer Probst is a brilliant story-teller.

SUMMARY

To satisfy his late father’s wishes, hot and single billionaire Michael Conte must find a bride—someone who will fit into his traditional family back home in Italy—and fast, so his engaged sister will be allowed to wed. With no intention of being tied down, Michael “proposes” to fiery, free-spirited photographer Maggie Ryan: if she will play the part of his fiancée during her trip to Milan for a photo shoot, he will keep away from her married best friend, Alexa, and stop making Maggie nuts with their too-close-for- comfort flirtations.

But once in Italy, sexual tension sparks the hottest no-strings- attached arrangement on any continent. Could marriage be the most enticing trap of all?
