Can a modern-day marriage of convenience turn into true love?
Curvy single mom January Jett never thought it would come to this — selling herself as a mail-order bride.
But when she receives the massive hospital bill for the medical procedure that saved her daughter’s life, she’s fresh out of money — and options.
She’s not happy about this turn of events . . . until she meets young British billionaire Samson North, her husband-to-be. He’s dark, protective, and so damn handsome.
Suddenly, with Samson by her side, it seems possible that her marriage of convenience won’t be the end of her life as she knows it.
It just might be the beginning of everything she’s ever longed for . . . if Samson’s family doesn’t destroy everything.

**My thoughts*
January is struggling to make ends meet. She got pregnant just out of high school. And of course, the baby daddy disappeared. At the age of 2, Emma required open heart surgery for a congenital heart defect. So she goes in search of a financial solution and finds one in Samson.
Samson is in need of a wife if he wants to inherit the family estate. He only has two weeks to find someone. So being matched by Kels, who orchestrated the original match in Book 1, is able to do it again.
They also match because Samson has a soft spot for single mothers and plans to use the estate to support an organization that he has created to help.
I cannot imagine being so desperate for money that I would move halfway across the world with my sick child. But then again, I know parents will do just about anything for their sick child. As expected, the two are very attracted to each other right away. And it isn't necessarily going to be smooth sailing getting this platonic marriage off the ground.
I'm still not sure how I feel about the whole mail-order bride type thing in a contemporary romance. But I liked this one a bit more than the first one because I felt like there was actually more of a story in this one, even though this is another shorter one. And it was a quick and entertaining read.
And real quick for the sex police, there is an open-door love scene. It doesn't bother me, but I know it bothers some people who would probably actually otherwise enjoy this story.
I do plan to continue with this series, though, because I am curious to see what happens with other characters.
