Married in a Moment

the long version

It all happened so fast! Gideon Langford suggested to Ellena that, to gain guardianship of baby Violette, she should marry him. It took Ellena a few seconds to get over her shock - just one of many since Violette's parents went missing on vacation... There was no time to waste! Gideon reckoned they needed a marriage certificate within days, otherwise their claim to Violette would be in jeopardy. For the sake of her tiny niece, Ellena became Mrs. Gideon Langford... Only married for the moment? Gideon insisted that, for appearances' sake, he and Ellena live together as man and wife. Which was fine - until they fell in love and began to wonder what would happen if Violette's mom and dad were ever found...
