For true love, he waited nearly 15 years… Now tempers will flare, zippers will fall and passions will ignite when commitment-phobic, playboy, attorney multimillionaire, Max King gets an unexpected second chance at love. At seventeen, Max King recklessly abandoned his first crush, societal misfit Kaya Hanson, after her first sweet taste of passion. It’s a memory neither can seem to forget. Now fifteen years later, to fulfill their beloved high school teacher’s unthinkable deathbed promise, Kaya, is forced into a proposition with the man who broke her heart. But, Kaya isn’t the same awkward girl Max left breathless years before. She’s now a successful, confident and sexy nurse who would rather die than spend a moment alone with the most infuriating man from her past. Forced together for two months, in a romantic city by the sea, they must keep their distance in order to survive. Dodge attachment. Keep things completely platonic. Don’t fall in love. Sounds simple, right? Wrong, when you have unfinished business with the one who got away. And as quickly as fate brings them together, Kaya’s past, full of violence, comes hurdling back into the forefront, forcing them apart. However, this time, Max can’t seem to shake his insatiable need to claim the one who got away forever.**

A one year marriage to her best friend. It was the perfect plan, until he fell in love. To receive the key to the McCray Empire, 29 year old, hot and single multimillionaire developer Dylan McCray must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or risk losing everything. Out of options, and determined to stay attachment free, he forges an improbable arrangement with his best friend of nearly twenty years, Carrie Heights. It’s the perfect “no strings” marriage. Or, so he thinks. For 29 year old, school teacher Carrie Heights, the only man that could ever scratch her sexual itch is her best friend, Dylan. The problem is, he doesn't have a clue that she's been secretly yearning for his intimate touch, since she was a teen. When Dylan begs her to play the part of his bride for a year, Carrie reluctantly agrees, but not before forcing him to agree to her own set of “secret” terms and conditions that she adamantly refuses to announce until their wedding night. With each seductive glance, erotic touch, and flirtatious gesture, Dylan wonders why his manhood is stirring wildly over his “Inconvenient Bride”. He's forced to ask the question: Will there one year marriage end with them still being friends or will he want much more?**
