Six-Month Marriage by Penny Jordan

A temporary marriage...

Sapphire is devastated to learn that wealthy, brooding landowner Blake Sefton only married her to acquire her father’s Cotswolds farm. At first she had been too besotted with him to realise that his passion burned for his mistress, not for his virgin bride. But then Sapphire discovered Blake’s secret love letters and the reason he’d been unable to bring himself to share his wife’s bed. Painfully disillusioned, she ran away and divorced him.

Now four years later, she’s considering remarrying Blake – just for six months – to ease her dying father’s mind. After all, Blake hadn’t desired her before, so what would he want with her now?
