Book Description

Blurb 1

When Fern Heatherly became Mrs. Ross Kingdom in the romantic rose-covered chapel high in the Californian hills, she knew that the gay, sophisticated motley of guests believed this wedding to be the culmination of a whirlwind romance. Fern hid her aching heart behind a smiling face, just as she learned to hide her growing love for Ross behind a mask of bright indifference. For Ross didn't want her love, and for him this marriage was an empty marriage of convenience.

Blurb 2

'You must marry me right now!'

Fern gazed at Ross Kingdom disbelievingly. She couldn't marry him just because a few people mistakenly thought they'd spent the night together. Marriage was sacred; not meant to be a cover-up for scandal.

But then, Ross was a well-known journalist; his sister was a movie star. Anything that happened in his family made news -the kind of news that could ruin Fern's reputation forever.

'All right,' Fern said quietly. 'I'll marry you!'
