Connal

Product Description A New York Times Bestselling Author Connal Tremayne lived in torment since he lost his wife in a tragic accident. On the anniversary of that date, he drank to drown the remorse and Pepi Mathews, the daughter of his boss, wanted to help him. However, the young woman had expected to follow him to a bar in Mexico City, and instead he took her to a chapel and asked her to marry him. Pepi played along, feeling safe that the marriage certificate would not be valid in the U.S., but on the following day, she was going to discover that their union was perfectly legal . . . "Shy bride ... Penelope Mathews had spent her entire adolescence worshiping the elusive C.C. Tremayne--from afar. Until one night, trying to protect the mysterious loner from his once yearly bender before he landed in a Mexican jail, Pepi was forced to seek refuge in a wedding chapel--and wound up going one step further by emerging as Mrs. Connal Cade Tremayne! When C.C. sobered up, he was outraged-- the last thing he needed was a shy virgin on his hands. The marriage was off; he'd see to an annulment immediately. Or so he thought--until he realized that Pepi was on the verge of womanhood ... and who better than he to carry her across that threshold?"--Publisher
Penelope Mathews had spent her entire adolescence worshipping the elusive C. C. Tremayne—from afar. Until one night, trying to protect the mysterious loner from landing in a Mexican jail after he had drunk a little too much, Pepi was forced to seek refuge in a wedding chapel—and wound up going one step further by emerging as Mrs. Connal Cade Tremayne!

When C.C. realized what had happened, he was outraged—the last thing he needed was a shy virgin on his hands. The marriage was off; he'd see to an annulment immediately. Yet the more time he spent with Pepi, the more he realized he didn't want a divorce he wanted forever.
