Laura Wright
CINDERELLA AND THE PLAYBOY

Silhouette Desire
July 2002

WIFE WANTED (STRICTLY TEMPORARY)

The position: Hard-driving corporate powerhouse-the very confirmed bachelor-C.K. Tanner needs a "pretend" wife to help him convince an old-fashioned business associate that he's a regular, reliable family man...

The unwilling candidate: Abby McGardy, a beautiful, independent young woman who works in the mail room and detests almost everything about her arrogant insufferable- but drop-dead gorgeous-employer...

The complication: The two of them are all wrong for each other-but they can't keep their hands off each other, either. And the sparks flying are enough to make anybody want to turn a "temporary" partnership into the deal of a lifetime...
