However, Charles risks losing his riches if he doesn't find a wife by the time he is thirty. Ellie also needs a spouse, or else her father's vile fiancée will choose one for her. Thus, despite the fact that their match seems to have been forged somewhere hotter than paradise, they decide to be married.

She makes an effort to avoid him, at least until she gets to know the guy behind the attractive exterior. But when he sets his mind to it, Charles can be incredibly persuasive—even tender—and Ellie finds herself falling under his alluring sway. And when one kiss turns into another, this odd couple finds that their marriage isn't as awkward as they had thought. and might result in love.
