Hired Wife

Sam Rasheed needed a live-in interior designer to transform his home, and Kim wanted the job. So she convinced him that the infatuated teenager he'd rejected eleven years ago was now a controlled, responsible businesswoman…

But her professionalism was already wavering. She'd only played along with Sam's suggestion of a fake marriage–"to keep idle gossip at bay"–in the hope that it would protect her from the unwanted admirers that had plagued her lately. She'd had no idea that she'd still find him quite so irresistible–or that he intended to keep up the "devoted husband" routine behind closed doors–in the bedroom!
