When he abruptly proposes marriage, she accepts--but both of them see it as nothing more than a business transaction, despite their mutual attraction and growing regard. Will the trauma of their pasts destroy their pretend marriage and their burgeoning relationship?

“That was an accident,” he mumbled, his cheeks reddening. “A... mistake.”


“A *mistake*?” Her jaw dropped. “You’ve been having sex with me every day for the last month and now you think it’s a *mistake*?”
