A Bargain Called Marriage

the long version

Feisty tomboy Samantha Hopewell wasn't the marrying kind--and neither was her handsome new housemate, Italian speedboat driver Nic Verdini. But when the sexy, oh-so-charming playboy was nearly killed in an accident, Sam reluctantly found herself playing nursemaid until her mother's infamous godson recovered. Nic couldn't deny his attraction to his beautiful caregiver, nor could he ignore the buried emotions she stirred. When an unexpected medical diagnosis gave Sam only a short time to get pregnant and have the child she'd always dreamed of, Nic volunteered for the job. Would their marriage, born of necessity, help them find the love and family they'd always wanted?
