Philippa knew that her marriage with Raoul, Comte de Martin, was a contract of industrial convenience, and that he felt nothing for her. As she felt nothing for him. Why then was she uneasy in his presence? No marriage, no merger! The merger of Vivian Glass with Raoul de Martin's powerful French conglomerate was essential. Philippa knew she couldn't afford to offend him. But she positively prickled every time Raoul came near her. Here was a man who despised easy flattery, yet seemed compelled to quash the resistance of anyone refusing homage to his potent magnetism. Raoul was witty, sophisticated, charming--and profoundly cold! How else could he propose marriage in a bid calculated to restore declining investor confidence? And how could she refuse?

If she married him would love follow?"I don't think arranged marriages are such a bad idea," Becky said, just to be contrary and to shock her audience. "Marriage is simply a job like any other," she added rashly.Charles Mallory, her arch enemy, promptly offered her a job as his wife.But Becky called his bluff and had the last word. Soon she found she'd started a chain of events that quickly got out of control!

'You'll do your best for me. Or I'll see you never work on a major picture again.' Jo felt trapped. She hadn't wanted to stunt for a temperamental film star on the Spanish set of Dangerous Midnight, but her grandfather's future depended on it, and now director Seb Corbel's stony threat showed how much he'd sensed her reluctance. However, Seb wasn't prepared to stop at bullying a superb performance out of Jo; he insisted that she give him her total response too - though, as she very well knew, the night held secrets which meant she could never comply with his demands...

Bargain with the enemy From the first moment she saw him, Candy Neilson had been attracted to Justin Richmond. But she knew he wasn't the right man for her. He was, after all, her father's business rival. And worse, one of the newspapers he owned as threatening to print information that would ruin her family. Still, he was the only one who could help her, and she had to try to bargain with him. Even if that meant considering his ludicrous marriage proposal ... or accepting it.

Alexis Brooke, struggling musician, had nothing in common with international film stars. Especially not those with Michael Slane's reutation. Why, then, did she find herself sharing what should have been a solitary trip to Spain with the arrogant hell-raiser? Alexis had wanted to get away, and sort out the traumas of the past ... and Patrick. And what of her future - would she ever play or compose again? But Michael needed a sanctuary, and now he was too close for Alexis's comfort; he was the most damnedly attractive man - but was that enough to heal her shattered trust?

What he proposed was a bargain--marriage as an exchange of favors! Paul Theokaris seemed to think he was offering Sally Harrison a fair deal. He needed a wife to convince his bankers and shareholders that he was serious about the family business--and that he'd reformed his "playboy" ways. And he knew Sally needed financial security for her young brother and her ailing grandfather. "Sensible" Sally agreed to her boss's proposal. Reluctantly. Because she was well aware that a marriage of convenience would also come to a convenient end. Convenient for him, not for her. It all went to prove that a woman who was marrying for money shouldn't marry the man she loved!
