Under Contract

Charlotte McKendrick is your typical thirty-something stay-at-home mom. She has three beautiful children, a loving family, special friends, and the most wonderful, adoring husband. Her life is a dream. Er . . . let's try this again. Charlotte McKendrick is not your typical thirty-something stay-at-home mom. Yes, she's got three beautiful children, a loving family (all of them lingerers-you'll see), and her friends are special, all right As far as her wonderful, adoring husband, what a joke That bastard abandoned her and the kids six months ago. Now, she will do anything she can to survive and provide for her children. Even if it means signing on the dotted line . . . Mitch Colton is the CEO of Colton Technologies. Most of his year is spent traveling around the world, bringing companies the latest innovations in automobile technology. He doesn't have time for a traditional relationship and the BS that comes with it. He doesn't do the "marriage" thing, the "kid" thing, and he certainly doesn't do the "falling in love" thing. All that said, he still wants someone to come home to. Someone who will offer everything he wants, and nothing he doesn't. He realizes loyalty paired with these kinds of demands won't come cheap. No problem. What he doesn't realize is that once Charlotte McKendrick signs that dotted line, he'll be paying with a lot more than money.
