Marriage Clause

A contract has bonded them, but only love can unite them.

Chantal has been waiting for years to finally take over her family’s hotel business. On the day she expects to assume control her aunt drops a bombshell in her lap. Chantal cannot lead the company unless she honors a contract her deceased father made ten years ago when he signed a merger agreement with his best friendâ€"stipulating she has to marry. Not just any man, but Stephan Lexington, soon to be head of his family’s jewelry business. Years ago, Stephan awakened her to passion, stole her heart and has become Mr. International Playboy ever since. Things do not get better for them after the “I Do’s”.

Stephan was not looking to walk down the aisle any time soon. To arrive home and discover he is matched to marry a woman whose heart is centered solely on her business, feels like prison in the middle of a nightmare. His attraction to Chantal is more powerful than he could ever imagine. However, he refuses to sit casually by and wait for his ‘new wife’ to find a place for himâ€"too self-possessed as a man for that. He is determined that the next time he is with his wife will be on his terms.

Bond by family honor in a marriage of convenience they both must prove that their passions run deeper for each other than their companies.
