The Sum of Love: The Books of Love, #4

By Quint Emm Ellis

It was a mutually profitable arrangement...an arrangement that just might extend beyond the bottom line.

Excerpt

Reyna chuckled. Despite their separate moving trucks, this moment almost felt real. Like a real couple.

Her cheerfulness died when she realized that that idea had warmed her. Looking into the gray-green eyes that peered so earnestly into her own, she found herself reluctantly taking firmer hold to the cozy image her mind was conjuring.

Don't go getting any ideas, Reyna. Her practical side chided. This is purely a business arrangement.

About the Author

Chapter 1

All Reyna could hear was the sound of the pen roller skating across the paper while she watched her hand do the unthinkable.

It just signed away her life — or at least the next 2 years of it.

Matthias, sitting beside her, was all grins.

How could he be so gleeful at a time like this? she thought.

So that’s it, he blurted at her with wide eyes. The sentence seemed to straddle the line between a question and a statement.

She shrugged, and they both looked toward the man across the desk. Their officiator.

That’s it, the balding man confirmed, taking on a relaxed posture; his clasped hands slid forward a bit as he leaned more heavily on his arms. You’re officially husband and wife. Congratulations.

Reyna felt her teeth grinding.
