Duplicity — Peggy Webb

Dr. Ellen Stanford admitted it was a reckless idea to bring a perfect stranger home to pose as her fiance -- but how could she face another family reunion without him? She'd devoted her life to her work, teaching sign language to a gorilla named Gigi; there'd never been time -- or need -- in her life for a man! Then her "hired" man showed up looking as good as Tom Selleck -- and Ellen felt a disturbing yearning to be pulled into his arms and soundly kissed! Dirk was mysterious about his past, enigmatic about his future plans, but for the moment he was everything a woman could want: masterful but tender, with a seductive smile that could charm her gorilla... and all her great aunts! But before long they were caught in their own little white lies -- while the sizzling truth of real love burned all their bridges behind them....
