Description
Marriage for a merger...
Joel Howard--arrogant, self-assured and all too aware of his sexual magnetism--reminded Cassie of the unlikelihood of anyone ever loving her.
She would rather have sold her soul to the devil than ally herself with him. So she entertained a proposal from his closest competitor, dangerously underestimating Joel's desire to take over her London-based computer-games company.
"There's only one way I can be sure of your loyalty," Joel told her, "and that's by buying it, the same way Peter Williams intended to buy it--by marrying you."

Mills & Boon UK Version
Joel Howard's idea of industrial merger with Cassie's computer-games company was marriage. Certainly it was nothing more than that she was sure - who could desire such a plain, mousy and inexperienced girl as herself for a real wife? But then Joel's mother invited her to Italy - and a transformation began!
