Substitute Lover // The Seduction Charade

He needed a make-believe lover

It was such a strange request--Gray Chalmers asking Stephanie to pose as his lover to help him resist the attractions of a beautiful but married woman.

Gray knew Stephanie, knew she didn't even like being touched. Yet he insisted she come back to the village to play the part of the femme fatale.

But Gray had never pried into the bitter marriage Stephanie had endured to his cousin. He'd offered only comfort in the ten years since its tragic ending. So, while she hated the pretense, she couldn't refuse.

Hero: Gray Chalmers
Heroine: Stephanie Ribeiro Wernyeck
