Assignment: Marriage

by Jackie Merritt, Beverly Barton

Mills & Boon Desire series delivers powerful, passionate romances…THE COP SAYS, "I DO?"

Marriage wasn't in his job description, but officer Tuck Hannigan's latest assignment was playing husband to an extremely vulnerable and incredibly beautiful witness. He'd protect Nicole Currie from danger he'd even share a home with her. But there was no way he'd let go of his stony facade and make their pretend marriage a real one .

Nicole Currie wanted her quiet life back. Instead, she was to be Tuck Hannigan's "bride" for as long as it would take to catch a murderer. But soon she was sharing candlelit dinners and heated kisses with her ruggedly handsome "husband" and wishing their assignment would never end .

About the author

Jackie Merritt's first book was published in December of 1988, and since then she's been deeply engrossed in the writing game. While she's gone through dry spells, where she can't write a word that makes sense and every idea ends up in the trash can, for the most part she's usually working on a viable story.

Jackie honestly believes that anyone with a reasonable grasp of language and grammar can write a bookif they're self-disciplined enough to put in the time and effort that writing demands. Starting a book is easy; staying with it until it is finished is the part that stops many would-be authors. Jackie believes she had an advantage that a lot of people do not have. As a former accountant, she was used to working alone and completing long projects. Oddly enough, the same principles apply to writing.

Plus, of course, you have to love it. Jackie's first attempts to write fiction were so bad they were comical, but she still fell in love with writing. She had written hundreds of business letters before that, but never a word of fiction, and there, all of a sudden, was a whole new world for her to explore.

Assignment: Marriage is the 19th stand-alone romance novel by American author, Jackie Merritt. Tuck Hannigan is offered a cushy assignment: take Nicole Currie away from Las Vegas and hide out in a luxurious lakeside cabin until the DA is ready for her to testify against a pair of dangerous criminals. But there is a hitch or two: Nicole is vulnerable and beautiful, and Tuck finds himself attracted; and there is a leak in the department, so keeping Nicole safe is much more of a challenge than expected. Nicole is annoyed to be plucked out of her quite satisfactory life and stuck in the company of this cranky cop, but then he smiles, and she’s lost. And when he saves her life, she is determined to make him part of it. Sweet sexy romance that is typical of Jackie Merritt’s style.
