To inherit her fortune, she has three weeks to find a convenient groom—and the only one available is her bitter enemy . . .

New Zealand heiress Eva Atraeus must marry. But every suitor is bought off by the will's formidable trustee: Kyle Messena. He has made himself the last available groom! Former special forces soldier Kyle broke her heart years ago. Now the dark, dangerous banker is the last man she'd marry—even in name only . . .

If Kyle can't have Eva, no man will. No, he won't fall for the fiery, passionate Eva, but he'll keep her safe from men who would use her. Then, after the will is satisfied, he'll walk away. But Kyle makes one mistake: he sweeps his wife to their marriage bed . . .
