To secure the most important deal of his life and honour his dead father, gold mining magnate Jordan Blackstone needs a wife to accompany him to Dubai. Fake wife, that is, because marriage is not on Jordan's agenda. He's nearly been there, never again. When Chloe Montgomery lands in his lap - literally - he decides she's the perfect solution. She's as gutsy as she is gorgeous and as commitment-phobic as he. But first he has to sweet-talk her into his plans. Chloe needs money fast. To keep her high-achieving family happy, she invented a well-paid job overseas, until the man she trusted swindled her of her meagre savings and forced her back to Australia. Now her parents needs her financial help to keep a roof over their heads and once she's convinced she can trust the gorgeous Jordan, his generous offer is too good to refuse. But when things heat up on their Dubai 'honeymoon' they have to decide if it really is a marriage in name only or whether it's the real deal.
