The Deserving Mistress

by Carole Mortimer

May has spent most of her life looking after her sisters and helping to run the family business - and she's determined not to let anyone take her home and livelihood! Especially not arrogant property tycoon Jude Marshall! However, deserving May has always been overlooked in the past - and now sexy, charming Jude is out to wine and dine her. May can't afford to let anyone get too close in case her secret is discovered - and anyway, surely Jude is the type of man to want a mistress, not a wife?
