In McGillivray's Bed

The wife catch!

Hugh McGillivray is stunned when he fishes a sexy woman out of the ocean. But even Pelican Cay's most determined playboy is tempted by beautiful Sydney St. John…. He only wanted a quiet afternoon of fishing with his dog, not an outraged mermaid barking orders from the water!

Sydney needs to escape her deeply unattractive business partner, who's demanding that she marry him. What if she agrees to Hugh's solution—pretend to be his wife? But that means they have to act married, and share a bed!

She took a proactive plunge off a luxury yacht in a beaded silver dress to dodge an ambush proposal, and hiding out on a laid-back tropical island seems like the perfect retreat.

Before long, she is scrubbing his cottage, sorting his air-charter billing, and turning his bachelor sanctuary upside down. Living under the same roof with a runaway heiress was never part of his flight plan!

When her suitor tracks her to the island, Hugh blurts out an outrageous defense.
