The Constantin Marriage

Alex Constantin agreed to a marriage of convenience to Tatiana Beaufort because this inexperienced young woman intrigued him.

But on their wedding night she asked for a year's grace before making theirs a "real" marriage…insisting on single beds!

Between running his vast pearling empire and salvaging her family's remote cattle stations, the dynamic Greek tycoon had plenty of distractions—yet sharing a luxury Darwin apartment with his untouchable bride proved a frustrating test of endurance.

When their first anniversary arrives, Alex decides the waiting period is over and issues a sensual ultimatum to take their partnership to bed.

A year on, Tattie is both alarmed and tempted when her husband suggests they become lovers at last. But she is just as determined that she will not become his proper wife until Alex says, "I love you."
