His Bride For One Night

By Miranda Lee

The ruthless bridegroom

Successful divorce lawyer Daniel Bannister lived his life with no strings attached, displaying his expertise in the courtroom–and the bedroom. So what made Daniel marry Charlotte Gale within twenty–four hours?

Simple. When he discovered that Charlotte had been jilted the day before her wedding, he had a plan to suit both of them: why not go ahead with the ceremony with him as her pretend groom? The honeymoon suite would be ready and waiting

Miranda Lee

After leaving her convent school, Miranda Lee briefly studied the cello before moving to Sydney, where she embraced the emerging world of computers. Her career as a programmer ended after she married, had three daughters and bought a small acreage in a semi-rural community. She yearned to find a creative career from which she could earn money. When her sister suggested writing romances, it seemed like a good idea. She could do it at home, and it might even be fun! She never looked back.
