Une rivale pour la mariée

Résumé

D’aussi loin qu’elle s’en souvînt, Claire avait toujours vécu dans l’attente du jour heureux entre tous où, au bras de son père, elle s’avancerait vers l’autel pour s’unir à l’homme de sa vie.

Or, ce jour tant rêvé était enfin arrivé; dans quelques heures, elle serait Mme Matt Benedict. Et voilà que, soudain, ce qui aurait dû être le plus beau jour de sa vie prenait des allures de cauchemar...

Comment, en effet, croire encore aux déclarations enflammées de Matt, quand elle venait de découvrir qu’il ne l’épousait que pour son argent ? Comment jouer le jeu, quand son père lui-même venait de lui révéler qu’en réalité elle avait été l’objet d’une ignoble transaction commerciale ?

Description en VO :

The perfect match ... in name only!

Jake Winters was every woman's fantasy - and, as his P.A., Claire had been groomed to become his perfect partner. She was the ideal assistant, hostess...and wife!

Their wedding had been a mutually beneficial business arrangement; their marriage a paper affair. Claire had never felt like a real bride: she was just a beautiful possession to Jake, who seemed more interested in the seductive Lorella.

Now Claire had made a big mistake: she'd fallen in love with her husband! WEDLOCKED!

"Marry me now. Or I'll walk out of your life forever."

Claire Jardine's wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but her whirlwind courtship had her reeling: who was the real Trader Benedict? Her perfect partner or a ruthless blackmailer? And why had he chosen Claire to be his bride? His glamorous companion Phoenix seemed a far more suitable candidate. As she stood at the altar with Trader, the time had come to answer the most important question of her life: did she dare take this man?
