The Future Mrs. Winter

[BookStrand Romantic Suspense, HEA] Quirky young teacher Carey Ashmore agrees to pretend to be her friend Jake's fiancée in return for a week's holiday in Cornwall. Once there, she meets his brooding, but devastatingly handsome, half brother Max Winter. When a sultry redhead called Rebecca turns up to complicate matters, Carey begins to wonder if she's fallen into the Daphne du Maurier novel she's been teaching her students. In a family torn apart by secrets and intrigue, nothing is quite as it seems. Carey would settle for people remembering her name. Max does, and is nothing like the ogre that Jake made him out to be, but with Rebecca's bloodred talons holding him firmly back, Carey wonders if she'll ever find the uncomplicated love that she seeks. When Carey's possessive ex-boyfriend turns up to claim her, it seems that she and Max will never be able to ride off into the sunset together. ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance
