The Upstairs Lover

He made her an offer she couldn't refuse

When Shane Courtney followed her home from Paddington Bazaar, Christine Delaney knew she'd met a man who didn't take no for an answer. He didn't have to -- he came from one of the richest, most powerful families in Australia...and he was drop-dead gorgeous.

Before she could question her sanity, Christine had rented him half of her home.

Living with Shane brought incredible rewards. He was the perfect man, the perfect lover. But appearances could be deceptive. Christine suspected she was being used to spite his family. Why else would he be on bended knee to the illegitimate daughter of a lowly barmaid?
