<p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;Waking up in bed with virile Sam Lawford was hardly<br />

&nbsp; Elise Holman's typically angelic behavior. Lately she'd<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; been fighting an attraction to her workaholic and<br />

&nbsp; oh-so-sexy boss, yet never for a moment did she think<br />

&nbsp; those amorous fantasies could possibly run away with<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; her resistance.<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp; And what about Sam's &quot;honorable&quot; intentions? He<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; abruptly proposed--then stipulated that, to him,<br />

&nbsp; matrimony meant little more than &quot;marital relations.&quot;<br />

Though Elise feared treading into such a cold bargain, she<br />

prayed warm affection would soften Sam's heart. But was<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; she simply a fool rushing into marriage with<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a man who refused to love?</p>
