Loving Charade — Linda Vail

There was a first time for everything. Amelia had never seduced a man before but she was going to try. She'd made a deal. Her brother was in danger and his safety depended on it. But surely the devastating Colt wasn't the kind to be tricked by her into marrying and settling down--not even to satisfy a mischievous old man's desire for great-grandchildren! In spite of his overbearing, uncompromising ways, Colt inspired passion--passion he warned Amelia not to take seriously. Hurt, angry, challenged, she swore to teach him that he couldn't live without her. What had begun as a charade had suddenly become serious business, with her pride, her future -- and her heart--at stake!
