About this ebook
Betrayed by his first wife, Simon Grimshaw won’t marry again.
But sultry nights in Singapore can be lonely—nothing a beautiful English mistress wouldn’t fix! Now the wealthy merchant has summoned what he thinks is a compliant companion to his sprawling island villa.
Bethan Conway answers an advert to become a wife, believing it will help her secret search for her missing brother. Trading a dreary nursery in Newcastle for the exotic East seemed like a fair bargain—until she discovers she was hired under entirely false pretences!
Between managing his bustling godown on the river and caring for his sweet young daughter, Simon’s well-ordered life is suddenly thrown into chaos. Guarding her virtue was supposed to be simple—unless a wounded gentleman with a devastating smile makes surrender far too sweet!
But Simon isn’t the ugly old man she was expecting. He’s a hot-blooded bachelor who wants a woman in his bed—a position Bethan’s more and more tempted to fill!
