    About this ebook

    Who's the sexy blonde stranger sleeping in Simon Holcroft's bed? The workaholic returns from a business trip to find someone stretched out on his sheets. Between the laundry basket at her side and the smell of orange cleaner, he deduces that the young woman is his maidand resists the urge to kiss her awake.

    But when his brother's fiancéhis own exbursts in and strips down to her panties, Simon has to get her dressed and back where she belongs. So he introduces the maid as his fiancée. But his little white lie gets bigger, because now he has to bring his supposed bride-to-be to meet the whole family. One offer-she-can't-refuse later, Simon has bought himself a temporary fiancée.

    In debt up to her eyeballs and all alone for the holidays, how could struggling grad student Caroline Sampson not accept her gorgeous client's fantasy proposal? But acting like she's in love comes more easily than she ever expected.

Simon introduces Caroline as his fiance that has not told his parents yet of.After Francine leaves Simon offers to pay what she owes on her law school and pay the last semester tution if she will come to his parents home in Savannah with him.

      This book tells a simple story of Simon who in order to avoid the unnecessary flirtation from Francine, who is the fiancee of his brother, cooked up a story of his engagement with Caroline whom he has only meet up earlier. Caroline, who is an orphan after the death of her mother, found herself to be attracted to the warmth and friendly family of Simon when she went to spend the christmas season with Simon's family. The lies that was being told to all is getting bigger each day and Caroline does not like it at all. But she have to continue to act as what has been agreed upon with Simon. Naturally, they found themselves to be attracted with each other which has complicated the matters further.I like Caroline alot. She is a normal next door girl who crave for love and i felt for her when she is in conflict with her inner self when she have to do what she was agreed to. Overall, this book is a good and easy to read book ;)

      His Secret Temptation is a lighting fast read that packs a punch. The emotion throughout this sweet romance will bounce of the pages. It is interesting to watch Fate’s crafty design in pulling these two people together. The hoax of a maid finding herself in an elaborate plan pretending to be a millionaire fiancé. Although, deception offers a negative twist to the story; it is an honorable decision when paired with the talon hooks is brothers finance is trying to stick in him. I was more than willing to encourage and root for the liars when it pushed the money grubby wench out of the picture. It is a perfect happy ending that offers a abandoned girl the Man and Family that could offer her everything her heart desires. This was an awesome story, and readers will zip right through it.
