A rough, tough bad boy is brought to his knees by ... a kindergarten teacher? The king of one-night stands ... To inherit - and destroy - his father's business at long last, Brock Hudson needs a temporary wife. The ruthless ex-military heartthrob has always avoided romantic entanglements. Women are sweet, but vengeance is sweeter. Or so he thinks. Only one woman will do, but the vulnerable beauty is more than he bargained for - sexier, wittier, and utterly irresistible. The queen of the deep freeze ... After an abusive first marriage, Lyndie Scott has sworn off relationships. But still she longs for a child of her own. Turns out, the brawler who used to frighten her with only a glance is the answer to her problems. She agrees to his proposal, with a caveat: spend every night in bed with her, then walk away for good when it's time to divorce. Even if she's pregnant. A marriage of breathtaking inconvenience ... As the days pass too quickly and the nights heat up, Brock battles a sense of possession and obsession.
