Real Love — Marcella Sanders

A SURE THING
Although Monique McRay has made her first beauty salon into a major success, she's on the verge of losing her second one--unless a miracle can save her. That miracle is Nick Parker, Monique's longtime friend who also happens to be a lawyer. She never expects her request for legal assistance to end in marriage to her old flame! In exchange for Nick's help, she agrees to marry him until he can inherit the land he needs to build an inner-city children's camp. Now Monique must pretend to be Nick's wife--and resist the undeniable sensual heat building between them.

LOVE'S REAL DEAL
Nick has always felt that he and Monique shared a special bond when they once dated. But mutual career demands and past heartbreak tore them apart. Nick knows he can't dwell on what could've been. Yet spending each day as "husband and wife" is making him want Monique more than he ever has. And when their passion ignites, Nick and Monique must place their trust in a love that could last a lifetime.
