Love…Is it real or just a means to an end?

Emerald green eyes, long wavy honey-blond hair and six-foot-tall without high heels, Marley’s striking appearance has always garnered attention. Most of the time, not the kind she wanted. Growing up, she was often called a freak or a clown by her classmates. Towering over them, she learned to handle their remarks with humor. It seemed to frustrate them and at the same time it amused Marley. When the opportunity to help her struggling parents out financially occurs, Marley decides to take it. A fake engagement and a month of marriage is all she has to agree to. He gets his inheritance and she gets paid. Simple, right? That decision becomes significantly more difficult when she finds herself falling in love.
With a maniac trying to prevent her from marrying Jeffrey, she fights to stay alive, trying to defy the odds and find happiness.

Excerpt from the book:

She was very tall for a woman, but even at six foot two with her heels on, she looked slightly upward into those dark blue eyes. “Office party? Sent me over? Paid for me? What are you talking about? I came here for a job interview!”

Jeffrey finally quit staring at her breasts and his eyes locked on to two large emerald-green orbs. “Wait a minute, aren’t you Natalie?”

“No, I am not Natalie. I am Marley! And I came here to apply for a job as Jeffrey Ballantine’s ‘personal assistant’. Who the heck are you?”

“I am Jeffrey Ballantine, and I think I made a huge mistake.”
