Book excerpt: A HALF-WILLING GROOM Brett Sinclair didn't want the ancestral home his grandfather had left him. Problem was, he couldn't just forfeit it, either. The only solution was marriage—to Gayla Matthews. So Brett said "I do," never expecting his bride would soon have him thinking about happily-ever-afters. AN UNWILLING BRIDE Gayla couldn't believe she had married Brett—even if it was only temporarily. To her, love should last a lifetime, and she'd known her groom only three days! But when Brett swept her into his arms, she wanted to be more than a wife-for-a-while. A WILLFUL MARRIAGE Soon Brett and Gayla's marriage was more than either expected. And just what their hearts needed.
