The Inconvenient Marriage by Carolyn Faulkner

She doesn't want a man, and he doesn't need a woman. So, a marriage of convenience should be perfect, shouldn't it?

Mina has come for the summer to help her friend plan her wedding. After suffering through a trauma years ago, she has made a vow to keep her distance from all men. However, that was before she met Crystal's older, widowed brother.

Rad likes his sister's friend. The fact that she gets along with his two small daughters is an added plus, and these two reasons prompt him to propose a marriage of convenience to her. He makes it clear that there will be separate bedrooms, and she agrees. After all, she doesn't want a man in her bed, and he was hurt deeply by his first wife, so it just makes sense.

But when her new friend, Gemma, gives birth, Mina suddenly realizes a marriage of convenience to Rad is no longer what she wants. Somehow, he has broken through the barriers of her past. Can she convince him to make their marriage real? Or will it take no convincing at all?
