When Ethan Howell O'Connor's world falls apart, he turns to the only woman he trusts. The only woman who has ever laughed off his charm and sneered at his pretty face. His money is a different matter though, and after negotiating a hefty fee, she agrees to play his fiance. Ethan relaxes for the first time in weeks because he knows that all she wants from him is a paycheck.

Forced to spend day-after-day and night-after-night together, Ethan's trust turns to interest. A man used to being adored, he just can't help himself as he tries to make a woman immune to charm fall in love with him. But a man who lives by the sword of love, dies by the sword of love, and he falls for her hard, knowing all the while that she'll never fall with him.

Mackenzie Wyatt spent her childhood adoring her father, and she knows first-hand that there is nothing more dangerous than a charming and handsome man. But six weeks under Ethan's thumb forces her to realize that sometimes charm and beauty can hide a heart of gold, and no matter how embarrassing it is to admit, she's just like every other woman on the planet. In love with Ethan O'Connor.
