Make-Believe Bride

Kelsey McClaire just knew she was going to get fired; she’d just lost a two-hundred thousand dollar account for Trent & Trent Media. From what she’d heard, Jonathan Trent was heartless. But the private meeting with Jonathan wasn’t about the account; he wants her to marry him for six months, then she’ll be debt free and divorced. The longer she was around him and his family the more she wasn’t sure she’d be able to get out of this with her heart intact.

Jonathan Trent can’t believe he’d lost that bet with his rival and if he can find someone to marry him and stay married for six months, then he’ll be able to keep his radio station. From what the investigator found out, his new account executive is the perfect candidate for the business proposal he was offering her. To be his bride for six months, then go her own way with ample compensation. The only problem is, he’s falling in love with her and wants forever. Will he get his fondest wish or will Kelsey take the money and run?

Ms. McDonough has written a delightful story of two people who come together for different reasons, Kelsey for her debts, Jonathan to keep his station. The feelings that Jonathan and Kelsey feel towards each other will have readers remembering their own love. The author has given such details that the reader will feel the sand beneath their feet, they’ll feel the breeze blowing off the ocean, and see the stars shining overhead. This is definitely a book for the keeper shelf.
