This is a Honeymoon Novella. It is book 1.This story is set in Paris.It is the story of Kate Edwards and Isaak Zaretsky.Kate has been helping her friend, Ivor, study his genealogy. He has some family mysteries that need solved. Kate's family business is failing, and Ivor decides to try to help Kate with this. He has made a contract for one year of marriage in exchange for money to help get the family business out of debt. There will be no sex and they will only appear married when they are in the public eye. Before the wedding can take place, Ivor suddenly dies.Isaak, who is Ivor's nephew, has knowledge of the contract. He tells Kate she can either pay back the money or agree to marry him. Kate, having no way of paying back the money, contacts her mother. Her mother, only thinking of herself, thinks it is a good idea to have Kate marry Isaak instead to keep the money for the business.After she agrees to marry Isaak, they head to Paris to honeymoon. There they find out some answers to things in Isaak's family that were not known. They also discover a hidden desire and passion for each other. Is there honeymoon pretend? Or is it more real than either of them know? Did Ivor set a plan in motion before his death that would bring Kate and Isaak together?I enjoyed this story immensely. It was fast paced, intriguing, and grabbed my attention early in the story. I will definitely read more from author Carol Marinelli.
