The Marriage Clause

Book excerpt: Chantal has been waiting for years to finally takeover her family's hotel business. On the day she's supposed to assume control her aunt drops a bombshell in her lap. She can't lead the company unless she honors an agreement her deceased father made ten years ago when he signed a merger agreement with his best friend, stipulating she'd marry. Not just any man, but tall, mocha colored Stephan Lexington, soon to be head of his family's jewelry business. Years ago, Stephan awakened her to passion, stole her heart and has become Mr. International Playboy ever since. Soon after the wedding, he leaves the country believing that her only interest lies in her company. Bound by family honor in a marriage of convenience, Chantal vows to win over her estranged husband and prove to him that the passion that runs in her veins is for him and him alone.
