In The Arms Of The Heiress

It’s all fun and games until someone falls in love… Independent heiress Louisa Stratton is going home to Rosemont for the holidays and, at the family’s request, she’s bringing her new husband Maximillian Norwich, art connoisseur and artful lover, the man she’s written of so glowingly. There’s one hitch—he doesn’t exist. Louisa needs a fake husband, and fast, to make the proper impression. Charles Cooper, captain of the Boer War and with a background far from silver spoons or gilded cages, is so hard up that even Louisa’s crazy scheme appeals to him. It’s only thirty days, not till death do them part. What’s so difficult about impersonating a husband, even if he doesn’t know a Rembrandt from a Rousseau? The real difficulty is keeping his hands off Louisa once there’s nobody around to see through their ruse. And then there’s the small problem of someone at Rosemont trying to kill him. Keeping his wits about him and defending Louisa brings out the honor he thought he’d left on the battlefield. But when Louisa tries to protect him, Charles knows he’s found a way to face his future—in the arms of his heiress.

She's untouchable, he's determined to break through her barriers... will her job keep them from finding love? Valentina Lopez has spent her life keeping up with the boys. Between her skills in martial arts and military background, she's never met a man she couldn't pin to the mat. Until one fateful night when she crosses paths with Andrew McPherson. Rich, handsome and skilled in fighting, Andrew proves to be a challenge to Val in more ways than one. Andrew has made a habit of running from the women who socialize in his circles. He's tired of being seen as a pocketbook instead of a person. When his grandmother, Lola, finds herself in need of a bodyguard, Andrew goes against the status quo and jumps at the opportunity to get to know the one woman who has piqued his interest, and is unlike any other woman of his acquaintance. Val's tough exterior is hard to crack, but just as she finally gives into the attraction between her and Andrew, Lola is attacked. Can their new relationship survive the fallout? Or will Val's failure drive a wedge between them forever? If you adore feisty heroines, swoon-worthy heroes and clean Happily Ever Afters, then you'll LOVE Laura Ann's tale of love at first fight!
