To save her family home, impulsive bookstore owner Alexa Maria McKenzie casts a love spell. But she never planned on conjuring up her best friend's older brother—the powerful man who once shattered her heart.
Billionaire Nicholas Ryan doesn't believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father's corporation, he needs a wife and needs one fast. When he discovers his sister's childhood friend is in dire financial straits, he offers Alexa a bold proposition.
A marriage in name only with certain rules: Avoid entanglement. Keep things all business. Do not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a year so the rules shouldn't be that hard to follow, right?
Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans . . .

"Wow, what a fun read! Finished in a day. Exciting, sexy, yet believably-flawed characters. Once I bought into the story's set-up at the beginning, I had no trouble going along for the ride. Jennifer Probst does sexual tension very well, and I liked that she gave both POVs equal weight."
— Dawn (4 out of 5 stars)
Full of nonstop sexual tension that crackles off the page.
— Laura Kaye, author of Hearts in Darkness" What a cute story, I absolutely loved this book! I was going to go to bed but couldn't bring myself to stop so I finished in one sitting! : ) "
— Maggie, 2/13/2014" This was ok, I just felt like it was a crappy version of fifty shades! "
— Kristi, 2/1/2014" Alexa and Nick are great together. She lost some cool points for being a Mets fan but other than that I love the way she handled Mr Cool and reserved. "
— Tonesha, 1/27/2014" This was ok but not like some of the others. I didn't feel like I had to keep reading and not walk away. A good, easy read.... "

— Sabrina, 1/19/2014" I'm honestly not sure why I even put this book on my library list. It's your typical cheesy romance novel. If that's what you are looking for this is as good (or bad) as any. "

— Evannie, 11/13/2013" Light read. Entertaining yet predictable. "
— Stephanie, 11/10/2013" Cute. Nice balance: At times predictable but enough twist to be fun. At times dark but light enough not to be melodramatic? Looooong wait for hot stuff but the near-misses create a slow heat. "
