    Bride: hand–picked for the British billionaire!

    Heir to the sumptuous Castle Anders, Richard only needs Valentina as his wife to secure his birthright. But playing the part of husband proves more pleasurable than he'd first thought...

    Valentina is smitten by this handsome gentleman who has swept her off her feet! She's given him her innocence in the bedroom, she's given him her word at the altar, but when she learns the truth will she give Richard her heart?
