The One That Got Away
Evie Jones knows it can be awkward meeting your new in-laws, but this is ridiculous. She agreed to her business partner Max Carmichael’s idea that they enter into a marriage of convenience because it is the only way he can tap into his trust fund. Without that $10 million, they have no hope of landing their first big project to jump-start their Australian construction business. So Evie agrees to a strictly platonic marriage to Max for two years, after which they will get a divorce and go back to simply being business partners. Meeting Max’s mother at the engagement party is stressful enough, but when Max introduces his half brother, Logan Black, Evie realizes that her new brother-in-law is the man she had a steamy affair with 10 years ago in London, and who pretty much ruined her for any other lover. Tailor-made for readers who like strong, independent heroines and alpha heroes with emotional baggage, Hunter’s fast-paced, scorchingly sexy, and vividly written novel launches KISS, Harlequin’s new line of contemporary romances. --John Charles
