IT WAS A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE... But convenient for whom? Jude Langston had practically kidnapped Bess White and brought her to his San Antonio ranch. It wasn't that he'd wanted her so desperately - he didn't even like Bess. No, Jude's cool green eyes were firmly fixed on the shares of his company that she'd inherited.

For as she fought it, Jude had captured her heart. Yet how could she stay in a marriage that was so much less than such a union should be?
