The Five-Minute Marriage
ByPublisher Description
First comes marriage.
Then comes love.
Then things start to get really complicated.
Desperate to help her ailing mother, Delphie Carteret agrees to a sham wedding ceremony to her cousin, Gareth. Her mother will be guaranteed annuity for life, and Gareth's obligation to marry before his sick uncle passes is fulfilled. The plan is perfect.
But perfect plans usually go awry. Not only is the marriage ceremony valid, but Gareth's dying uncle makes a miraculous recovery. An imposter is threatening Delphie's identity and her life, and the whole family is on the brink of scandal.
As Gareth and Delphie try to mastermind a way out of this mess, they begin to discover that what's between them may be surprisingly real…
