To satisfy his late father's wishes, hot and single billionaire Michael Conte must find a bride—someone who will fit into his traditional family back home in Italy—and fast, so his engaged sister will be allowed to wed. With no intention of being tied down, Michael "proposes" to fiery, free-spirited photographer Maggie Ryan: if she will play the part of his fianc├®e during her trip to Milan for a photo shoot, he will keep away from her married best friend, Alexa, and stop making Maggie nuts with their too-close-for-comfort flirtations.
But once in Italy, sexual tension sparks the hottest no-strings-attached arrangement on any continent. Could marriage be the most enticing trap of all?

"I read this one last by mistake. Reading a series of books out of order does a number on the ending. LOL. But these books in this series were great anyway. It just makes more sense to read them in order, ha!"

— R, 11/8/2013" I didn't like this one as much as the 1st book in the series. For some reason I just didn't connect with Michael in the same way I did Nick & Alexa in The Marriage Bargain. It was still a good story though so kudos to Jennifer Probst. I'm looking forward to reading Carina's story. "
