There's only one thing a Thorsen does better than fighting ... — "And that's winning!" Or so Rainer Thorsen claimed, flashing his ruthless I-always-get-what-I- want smile. And what Rainer wanted this time was her Uncle Cletus' produce market, Cornucopia. Jordan didn't know what to do. Charm the handsome modern-day Viking? Or toss him out on his lightning-bolt earring? Well, he wouldn't get it! Uncle Cletus might have been more interested in discerning the political and philosophical mind-set of vegetables than in selling them, but he loved Cornucopia as much as she did. Still, Jordan didn't fool herself—Rainer was trouble. Especially when it became clear that he wanted her as well as Cornucopia.

The Bride needed the groom. The Groom wanted the bride. A Wedding was the only solution! A marriage of convenience. A business arrangement. A temporary measure. Andrea Constantine wasn't surprised when her former fiancé, Thor Thorsen, proposed marriage as a solution to their mutual business problems. After all, he'd proposed to her for business reasons before. Andrea had learned the hard way that business came first with the men in her life. But she'd vowed never to marry a man who put business before love. Oh, Thor wanted her; she didn't doubt that. But it wasn't love, and it wasn't even why he was marrying her. Business first, pleasure second—that was Thor.
