Make-Believe Engagement

Bride's Bay Resort #4

by Day Leclaire

Taylor Daniels wanted to be vice-president of her father's firm. She'd do anything to get there. Even hire a fiance. Luckily fate arrived in the form of J.T. Richmond. The man was perfect - tall, dark, attractive - and it seemed he was prepared to do anything for money! J.T. Richmond knew that the notorious Daniels Corporation meant trouble! Well, he was going to stick pretty close to Taylor...and she'd offered him the ideal way to do it. But had J.T said 'I do' to a perfect stranger only to find he wanted more than a make-believe bride?

About the author

I love family first and foremost, which is why writing family sagas and stories that involve family is so much fun. Maybe you can tell that from my books since they always feature the warmth and joy and ridiculousness that comes from having a close-knit family.

I also love animals and have taken in rescue dogs and cats and fostered dogs for the local animal shelter.

And of course, I love writing. All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!

USA Today bestselling author, Day Leclaire is the author of more than 60 novels and has received an impressive eleven nominations for the romance industry's most prestigious award, Romance Writers of America RITA© Award. Day lives in Charlotte, NC and spends her days obsessively writing while vaguely remembering to pay attention to her adorable husband, busy son and daughter-in-law, two tiny grandchildren, and two even tinier Teddy Bear dogs. Not to mention a whole lot of dust!

3 1/2 Stars ~ Taylor's desperate. She needs information on Bride's Bay Resort, confidential information. If she doesn't compile a thorough report, she'll have failed her father once again, and she'll never have earned the vice presidency of her father's company.

JT is perfect. He's a former islander and has connections to the owners of the resort. So Taylor hires him to pose as her fiancée and help her get the information she needs. JT has his own agenda. He doesn't tell Taylor that he has a personal stake in feeding her false information. He wants her to fail because that means her father will lose, and JT wants revenge.

The whole charade is backfiring. Taylor can't seem to keep focused on business, as JT is just too tempting, especially when he's in fiancé mode. JT finds that there's alot to Taylor that she's kept frozen, and he needs to show her that there is so much living that she's been missing.

This was a lovely, emotional story. Even though a mere 185 pages, Ms. Leclaire manages to make Taylor and JT very complete characters. Their emotional struggles make this a very gripping read.
