The marriage contract

by Susan Alexander

She was willing to gamble everything. After the callous way he'd disowned her mother, the last thing Rosanna Dunham wanted was to deal with her wealthy autocratic grandfather. But she was desperate for money--money that meant saving her mother from certain death. Her grandfather's terms, though, were outrageous: go to Sicily where he lived, marry the man chosen for her, and give him an heir. She would then be free. Rosanna agreed, positive she could handle such a marriage... but that belief vanished when she discovered the unpredictable passion of her new husband.
