I was raised poor, and the only thing I had going for me was my looks. My fiancé had the same low opinion of me, which is why he never bothered to give me anything real: not my ring, not the gifts, and not his heart. Graham Dessault is another rich man, and I should stay away from him because I've learned the hard way that all that glitters isn't gold.

When a baby is dropped on Carr McRae's doorstep, his first instinct is to send the child back to its parents, but when no one claims the little girl, he has no choice but to learn how to be a dad. A contract nanny is his solution, but he didn't bargain for Addison Parker, who is sweetness and sex in one irresistible package. He knows better than to fall for the nanny, but his heart isn't listening to his head.

There isn't a better restaurant in town than The Plate, and there isn't a better chef than Brooks Neal, but that doesn't mean he'd make a good partner. My life is falling apart, and so is my career as a food critic now that everyone knows I've slept with Chef Neal. I'm not sure how to right my faltering ship, but I know it's not with him! But he's so hot, and he's kind, and I can't stay away.

I've got no time for men and not much use for them either. I'm busy with my friends, my career, and my family. Some may call it hard-hearted, but I prefer smart. I'm on the verge of closing a deal of a lifetime, and no famous quarterback trying to make his rehab time go by faster is going to convince me to give up being single.

Being a lawyer seemed like a way to do good in the world, but dealing with sketchy clients and questionable deals is draining my idealism. I want out, but I don't know where to go. Dylan seems to have his head screwed on straight, but I can't fall into his arms when I'm not sure about my own future. He's so perfect that it's getting me all tangled up inside.

I walked into a cafe and found the woman of my dreams. So I did what any man would do in my situation. I lied. I told her I was broke despite the fact that I'm one of the richest men in the city. I told her I needed a place to live, even though I own several apartment buildings. The good thing is, she asked me to pretend to be her fiancé to gain control of the home of her dreams. The bad thing is that I'm going to have to convince her that this contract is for life.
