Book Description
Secretary Claire Dalgliesh was stunned by her boss Nicholas Monroe’s words: “You’re going to marry me.” It sounded almost like a proposal from the man of her dreams, but of course it was only an order from Nicholas, who was utterly disgusted by all the women trying to flirt with him. He was a man who declared that love was unnecessary and that this marriage would be nothing more than another practical arrangement for him. Claire couldn’t accept a marriage without love, but she risked losing her job if she refused…and she couldn’t afford to lose her job!
