      After “I do…”

      Ajax Kouros had a plan. Being jilted at the altar? Not part of it—especially when facing a thousand guests and one hundred reporters. His company’s future depends on marrying an Holt, and when his bride’s sister steps up to the…altar, can he say no?

      Leah Holt grew up watching her beautiful socialite sister hang on Ajax’s arm. Now she has the chance to stand in the spotlight and save her family’s fortune. But saying “I do” is only the beginning, and Leah soon realizes that the man she married is far more complex and distracting than the boy of her childhood fantasies….

      “We’re supposed to be newlyweds.”

      “We are newlyweds. Marriage is hard. First twelve hours is the hardest.” Leah continued typing away, not looking at him.

      “So it seems. But we must attempt to make this look real.”

      “It is real. As you pointed out, I signed a license, I took vows. It’s all real.”

      “You know what I mean.”

      “Love,” she said, looking up at him. “You want it to look like love. You want me to gaze at you in adoration so no one doubts my happiness or your penis size. I got it.”

      His throat tightened, a strange kind of heat prickling his face. “You do not normally talk this way.”

      “Maybe I do, Ajax, how would you know? We don’t know each other. I didn’t think you were as big of a jerk as you played it this morning—but, hey, I learned something new. And you think I’m a child, but you’re wrong about that too.”

      MAISEY YATES was an avid Mills & Boon® Modern Romance reader before she began to write them. She still can’t quite believe she’s lucky enough to get to create her very own sexy alpha heroes and feisty heroines. Seeing her name on one of those lovely covers is a dream come true.

      Maisey lives with her handsome, wonderful, diaper-changing husband and three small children across the street from her extremely supportive parents and the home she grew up in, in the wilds of Southern Oregon, USA. She enjoys the contrast of living in a place where you might wake up to find a bear on your back porch and then heading into the home office to write stories that take place in exotic urban locales.

      “IT’S OFFICIALLY TIME to panic.” Leah Holt finished reading her sister’s text message and looked up at her father.

      The expression on his face could only be described as shock, and Leah really couldn’t blame him. She felt the same way. Everyone was here. Everything was planned. The decorations were in place, the cake was made. The media had been alerted and was out in full force. The groom was present and ready.

      And the bride was gone.

      “Why is it time to panic?” her father, Joseph Holt, asked.
