Goody Two Shoes

Take one American singer who doesn't believe in falling in love…

Josh McInnes' biological clock is ticking and he wants to get married—now. After 20 years singing soppy love songs, he knows that there is no such thing as romantic love. There's only hormones and lust. At thirty-five, he's tired of his playboy lifestyle. He wants a wife who isn't interested in fame, money, or romance. A sensible wife, who values commitment. He wants a partnership, a friendship, and none of the craziness that goes with falling in love. As far as he can see, there's only one way to get exactly what he wants—he needs an arranged marriage.

…add a Scottish librarian who has given up on ever falling in love…

Caroline Patterson terrifies men. With her no-nonsense attitude, and ice queen demeanour, she's in control of everything—and everyone—around her. Her sensible shoes and grey skirt suits act like a force field, repelling male attention. At thirty-one, she can't remember the last time she went on a date and is beginning to think she'll never have a family of her own. When an American stranger approaches Caroline with a marriage proposal that resembles a business contract, she quickly accepts. She doesn't expect romance. But she does expect to control each and every detail of their lives together. Because as life has taught her—if you aren't in control, bad things happen.

…and you get romance Invertary style!

Josh and Caroline learn the hard way that falling in love isn't something you can avoid. And it definitely isn't something you can control. Their well laid plans are about to degenerate into chaos, as they fall in love the Invertary way.
