Old passions never die…Leo Zamos persuades his virtual PA Eve Carmichael to act as his fake fiancée at a business dinner. Thinking he’s never met her before, Leo assumes that Eve’s appearance will be as neat and professional as the work she’s so efficiently performed for him. But soon he realises how wrong he’s been! With her soft curves, and lips that beg to be kissed, Eve is every bit as tempting as her namesake…Eve has accepted Leo’s commission reluctantly – how can she, a single mum, refuse the fee he’s offering her? But will he recognise her as the girl he once briefly met and for whom he felt a simmering attraction? When Eve sees Leo again, she knows that the one-evening masquerade she’s signed up for is about to become a whole passionate night…in his bed…
