Quiet Walks the Tiger — Heather Graham

Money...she needed it more than love, more than anything he had to offer.

Sloan Tallet was tired of struggling, of doing it all on her own. When Westley Adams -- retired all-American quarterback -- arrived on her doorstep, she decided to marry him. He would never know that she didn't love him, that she had married him for his money. She would be the perfect wife.

Sloan knew she had to play the part of the adoring lover, but when Wes took her in his arms the passionate longing, so deeply buried, blazed within her. It was no longer an act. Sloan loved him, was bound to him, and now had to fight to keep him.
