Husband for a Year
Rebecca Winters
Stefanie had been the ideal temporary wife to powerful Gabe Wainwright.Only, now that their one-year contract was up, he found himself strangely reluctant to stop being her husband…. Stefanie knew Gabe was a man of his word, and he'd stuck to the in-name-only deal to the letter. But how she wished he hadn't! Still, maybe it wasn't too late to negotiate a new wedding contract - this time, forever!
“Our marriage of convenience ended at six o’clock this morning.”
Gabe continued. “A limo will be by for you in two hours. You’ve got your tickets? Everything?”
Stefanie smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I took care of myself before we met, and can do so again.”
Gabe sobered. “I realize that. But after a year of being your husband, I find I’m still in the habit.” He paused. “Then I guess this is goodbye. Thank you for everything, Stefanie. I’ll never forget you.”
After giving her a kiss on her petal-smooth cheek, Gabe left the study, aware of a haunting sense of loss. That was something he hadn’t expected….
To have and to hold…
Their marriage was meant to last—and they have the gold rings to prove it!
To love and to cherish…
But what happens when their promise to love, honor and cherish is put to the test?
From this day forward…
Emotions run high as husbands and wives discover how precious—and fragile—their wedding vows are…. Will true love keep them together—forever?
Marriages meant to last!
Look out in September for
The Marriage Test (#3669)

CHAPTER ONE
GABE stared at the serenely beautiful woman seated across the desk from him. For as long as he’d known her, people had commented that she was a new version of the legendary blond princess, Grace Kelly. He agreed there was a superficial likeness in looks and style.
Women envied her and always would.
Men envied him for having exclusive rights to her company. One day the whole world would admire her.
“Stefanie? As you’re well aware, our marriage of convenience ended at six o’clock this morning. There must have been times when you thought March 28 would never come around.”
She crossed one long, elegant leg over the other in a totally feminine gesture. “Let’s agree that both of us have been anxious for this day to arrive.”
He nodded. “Our annulment means you can go back to being Stefanie Dawson, this state’s most attractive and sought-after young socialite. Now that you’re free to get on with the rest of your life, men, young and old, will line up to win your heart. Some very lucky man is going to succeed.”
Her china-blue eyes smiled. “You think?”
His lips twitched. “I know. You’ll probably meet him before the year is out. Maybe even on your trip around the world. Are you packed and ready to go?”
“Yes.”
“A limo will be by for you in two hours. You’ve got your tickets? Everything?”
She smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I took care of myself before we met, and shall do so again.”
He sobered. “I realize that. But after a year of being your husband, I find I’m still in the habit.”
“Once out of sight, out of mind.” Her glib response was oddly disturbing.
Shifting his weight he said, “For the record, you’ve fulfilled your end of the bargain far beyond my expectations. Your reward is in this envelope, but no financial compensation could ever be enough to express the depth of my gratitude for your sacrifice. I’ll always be indebted to you. If you want, we can go over the settlement now.”
“I don’t. When you give your word, I’ve learned you keep it.”
There was fire in her remark. Fire he hadn’t expected.
“Then I guess this is goodbye.” Pushing the leather chair away from the desk, he got to his feet and walked around to her. The enticing floral fragrance he associated with her filled his nostrils.
“Thank you for everything, Stefanie. You’re a remarkable woman who deserves all that life has to offer. There’s no one like you. I’ll never forget.”
After giving her a kiss on her petal-smooth cheek, he left the study, aware of a haunting sense of loss. That, too, was something he hadn’t expected…
