A Binding Arrangement/A Suitable Match/The Doctor's Girl/The Fateful Bargain

Book excerpt: A Suitable Match This was a marriage of convenience, definitely not a love match. Colin Crichton made it clear when he proposed to Eustacia Crump that he wanted a down-to-earth partner who would help him care for his brother’s orphaned children, not a dreamy girl whose head was full of romance. But Eustacia couldn’t help hoping that one day he might grow to love her as much as she loved him. The Doctor’s Girl Penniless and unemployed, Loveday West is thrilled when Dr Andrew Fforde comes to her rescue with the offer of a temporary role as his receptionist. Loveday blossoms as she gets to know her kind, charming boss, until she can’t help but wish for more…could her place in Andrew’s life be more than just temporary? The Fateful Bargain Dutch surgeon Sebastian van Tecqx had offered Emily’s father the chance to have a life-changing operation.

It wasn’t hard for Emily to exchange her drab nurse’s lodgings for Sebastian’s luxurious home, but how could Emily stop herself from falling in love with her charismatic employer? Especially once Sebastian made it clear that marriage was not part of the bargain…
