Free-spirited Brianna Ballantine has four days to find a fiancé so she can inherit her birth mother's Italian villa. Commitment is not on the agenda. Writing her book and signing legal papers are. And once all is said and done, she'll return home to Australia, but not without a little fun first.
For finance guru Tomas Richards, relationships have been a bad investment—give him stocks and shares any day. When Tomas offers a marriage of convenience to help Brianna secure her inheritance, this gorgeous, quirky woman promises an affair to remember, despite family complications at every turn.
