She didn't want to be there. He didn't want her to stay. The arrangement was temporary - but their marriage was for keeps! The last thing high-powered Colorado lawyer Mark Johnson wanted was to be saddled with Kim Wade, his only sister's tough New York stepdaughter. But his sister assured him the arrangement was temporary. Kim wasn't too thrilled with this arrangement herself; she didn't know her "uncle" and she distrusted her stepmother. But after twenty-two years, she'd finally been offered the promise of family and belonging, and she needed to believe that promise was real. It wasn't. Her stepmother had lied. To both of them. So here she was, two thousand miles from home, trapped in an arrangement that was supposed to be temporary!
