From Boardroom to Bedroom

His sister was marrying the love of her life...or so she said. They’d chosen Valentine’s Day as their wedding day, which was just a little too cutesy for him, but she hadn’t asked his opinion.

Nigel had met his soon-to-be brother-in-law a handful of times when he’d gone home and the guy seemed like he’d fit into the Townshend family perfectly. But Nigel was in no hurry to bring home a woman. It would take someone special to get him ready to introduce her to the rest of the clan.

Nigel couldn’t prevent the smile that spread across his face. His family would have no way of knowing Roslyn was from the office. If she came as his plus one, it would give him another opportunity to get to know her on a deeper level. He wasn’t ready for that commitment his grandmother was after, but spending more time with Roslyn would give him more insight to her. A fake relationship for the sake of his family wouldn’t hurt anything, right?
