author: Kerr, Mary
description: Beautiful statuesque Caroline Sweet returns to small town life in Texas a failure after the world of fashion modeling defeats her. She lands a job in Roscoe's tavern and his business skyrockets when the male population turns out to ogle the new barmaid. That is until Mrs. Roscoe catches wind of her and comes to check her out and fires the bodacious beauty. Alone, penniless and hungry, she is offered a position by Noble Benedict who has enough money to buy whatever his heart desires and wants to hire her to have his children. No marriage license, they will have a contract. "Strictly a business deal," says Noble. His proposition shocks her but beggars can't be choosers, can they? And, Noble Benedict is a very handsome persuasive man. Caroline and Noble enter into negotiations and the eternal triangle forms. Caroline falls in love; Noble, into lust and the third side of this triangle is avarice in the form of a figure from Noble's past. Who is this raven haired siren and what is her hold over Noble? Why is her presence a threat to Caroline?When the truth comes out will Noble be able to protect Caroline? Will she cancel the contract when she learns his secret?
