Wife Wanted

By Christine Rimmer

What other disaster could befall Natalie Fortune? Her long-awaited vacation had been waylaid, her "new life" postponed. Now she was marooned with a broken leg, a St. Bernard--and a way-too-sexy neighbor. Eric Dalton had made her an offer she couldn't refuse. But was letting the gorgeous bachelor and his sweet little boy into her life Mistake No. 999, or the new beginning she'd been waiting for?
