About
**Back Cover Blurb:** How could she prove they were wrong? Rosy Seaton, alone in the world, was only too delighted to become acquainted with her distant Cousin Elliott and his wife, Bea. Unfortunately, Bea's younger brother and sister misinterpreted Rosy's newfound happiness and thought she was setting her cap at Elliott. To convince them it wasn't true, Rosy had to find herself a man--and Callum Blake was just what she needed. He was perfectly prepared to be her pretend lover--but what if it suddenly became reality?
