A proposal of convenience! Rafael Martinez is determined to prove his worth to the aristocratic family who disowned him.

Cora Brookes knows exactly how much family disapproval can hurt—and accepting Rafael's unexpected proposal is her chance to finally redeem herself. It was only supposed to be a paper marriage, but as Rafael helps Cora step out of the shadows, suddenly it seems possible their wedding vows could last a lifetime…

About the author

Nina has always loved reading and writing and fondly remembers a childhood play she entitled Rags to Riches and Back Again. The theme was that love trumped money and even back then she made sure her heroine and hero got their happy ending. They were penniless and ragged but happy!

As she grew older Nina continued to spend most of her spare time with her head in a book but the writing did get put to one side in the whirl of life.

However the dream never quite went away - and eventually (following a university degree, meeting her very own real life hero, a stint as an accountant, a further stint as a recruitment consultant, many short stories and three children later), Nina is a real author whose fifth Mills&Boon book comes out in November.

Nina now lives with her husband and three children in Brighton, UK and loves the fact that she can work in her pyjamas (as long as she remembers to change in time for the school run)

I really enjoyed this book...read in one sitting. Both the hero and heroine had me rooting for them. In addition to having glamorous international setting (I love all vineyard themed stories), the story also tugged at the heart strings.

I read the Harlequin manga version of this and while sweet, it moved so quickly that I wondered if there was more resolution in the book. Turns out, not really, lol!!! It was a straightforward, easy read and very shot. Knocked it out on about an hour.
