title: Too Many Husbands
author: Hughes, Charlotte
description: For a dozen grateful bachelors Meri Kincaid played the role of wife in every way but romance -- cleaning, shopping, laundry -- even if it meant leaving too little time for her own life!  Then lucky number thirteen entered the picture.... Businessman Chet Ambrose fell in love with Meri's rickety old house and proposed to trade his remodeling talents for her "wifely" services -- but he knew as soon as he tasted Meri's lips that he wanted all she offered... and much more.  Meri agreed to Chet's deal, but could he persuade this professional wife that one real husband was as much as she could handle?
