Susan Mallery

Lexi Titan can just see the headlines. All of Titanville will be buzzing.Not that she has any other choice. Faced with exactly thirty days to come up with two million dollars, she is out of options.

And the long-standing competition with her sisters for the family business.Cruz has money, success, smoldering good looks–everything but the blue blood needed to become a true member of Texas society. If Lexi agrees to be his fiancée for six months, lending him her famous father's influence and connections, he'll hand her a check on the spot. And in six months they'll go their separate ways.But neither one is prepared for their long-ago shared passion to throw a wrench into what would seem to be the perfect deal….
