"It's a perfect arrangement," Ben said

But Sarah, 28, had her doubts. She'd only just freed herself from a long engagement and Ben's proposal came much too soon. And for all the wrong reasons.

He insisted theirs would be strictly a business deal--one that would get him off the hook with the tax department. In return he promised to finance her dream of having her own fashion boutique in Sydney.

The offer was tempting, yet Sarah knew a self-styled maverick like Ben, 34, wouldn't take kindly to the demands of a real wife and family. And, though they hardly knew each other, she knew that what she really wanted was a proper marriage.
