Marrying Max — Nell Dixon

Mr. Right Now meets Ms. Forever. Some matches take a lot of work.

Max Richardson doesn't do commitment. But he will do anything to persuade his sister to let him provide a stable home for his niece, Emily, while her parents try to work through their marriage problems. Including renting a country cottage, hiring a nanny and -- um -- acquiring a fake fiancée.

Thea Sinclair had to give up her dreams of marriage and children when she came home to nurse her father through his last illness.
She's prepared to be Max's landlady, housekeeper and Emily's nanny. She's not prepared for him to persuade her into a pretend engagement -- or to find pretence becoming reality as she starts to fall in love with a man who's sworn off marriage forever.
