Charity Ames is trapped into a lie and she hates it. She needs a man to pretend to be her husband for a few days--so she hires one. Expecting a gargoyle, she's amazed when he turns out to be a very appealing hunk. Ross wants something Charity has, so when he gets the chance to pretend to be her husband, he takes it. But Charity is not the brittle business woman he expects and he falls hard and fast for her barefoot, South Seas image. Trouble is, it's an image she's trying to deep six, and she can't really believe a man from a prominent family like his--and with a terrifying mother like he's got -- would want anything to do with a girl of her shady past. When she finds out he's trying to trick her just like she's trying to trick her aunt, she's heartbroken and resentful. Can true love bridge the gap between their backgrounds and set the stage for baby-making happiness? Includes love scenes.
