When Marissa Barrett finds herself in a dangerous situation with her family, she needs help-fast. She's normally the queen of problem-solving, but this is one instance where she just can't seem to find a solution on her own. All she wanted from her boss was help finding an attorney, but before she knows exactly how it's happened, they're standing in front of a justice of the peace. Patrick Donovan would do anything to help Marissa. After all, she's been helping him run his business for years. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't wildly attracted to her, but there's no way he would ever act on it. Plus, with his meddling family looking to see him settle down, the last thing he needs is any kind of romantic relationship. But when Marissa turns to him for help, suddenly he sees a solution that benefits them both. One year of marriage. That's the agreement. But everything's negotiable, right?
