'A wedding night she'll never forget! Untouched Theodora Marlstone always wanted the fairy-tale wedding-a white dress and an adoring groom. Instead she's walking up the aisle toward a marriage of convenience to outrageously attractive Argentinean Alejandro Valquez! He promises raw sensuality, not devotion, but thanks to her father's will, Teddy must say "I do"...Alejandro never wanted a wife, but his buttoned-up bride is a delicious present just waiting to be unwrapped. Beneath the white silk lies a woman who exceeds his wildest imagination, and it's clear that this union will burn the very paper it's written on! ' (Publication summary)

'Teddy wasn't too heartbroken after her cruel father died. But he's left her one last command. If she doesn't marry multimillionaire Alejandro Valquez within a month, she'll be left homeless and penniless. Hoping that Alejandro will turn her down, she purposefully dresses in shabby clothes when she meets him. There's no way that the coldhearted playboy will make her his bride! However, Alejandro agrees to the wedding and attempts to seduce her in order to get his hands on her family's land. So, in order to save the nanny and gardener who raised her like their own family, Teddy agrees to a six-month-long paper marriage!' (Publication summary)
