I need a wife. Now. It doesn’t have to do with love and living the good life. This is all about getting the money my billionaire father left to me. And I’m running out of time. But who proposes to a stranger after the first date? Me. That’s who. As if I have another choice. Luck is on my side though, and a beautiful model shows up in my office. Single? Gorgeous? Funny? All of the above. Our first date goes so well that I feel unsure about my decision to do this thing with her—you know, fake it. I put it off and decide to do it later, to ask for her help after we get to know each other better. But I like her more and more each time we meet, and eventually, offering her a ring isn’t for my dad’s money—it’s because I want her more than anything else in the world. Besides, who’s going to know if it’s fake or real? And does it really matter? Yeah. It does. To her…

Lose It All

TerranI should have been having a blast instead of feeling as if I were facing the most important decision of my life. It was one of those rock and hard place decisions. Damned if I did and damned if I didn’t.“I need a drink,” I mumbled.“I’ll get you one, sweetie.” A pretty blonde woman sitting on a leather couch across from me quickly jumped up to do just that.Zach looked at me and smiled. “That was easy.”It hadn’t exactly been what I meant. I needed a drink, but I didn’t expect her to fetch it for me. She was a guest. She returned a minute later with a margarita, the rim of the glass lined with salt. It wasn’t exactly the drink I had in mind, but it would do.“Thank you,” I said, unable to remember her name.She smiled. “Any time, Terran. If you need anything, you only have to ask.”I smiled and nodded my head, ignoring the flirting. I wasn’t in the mood to flirt, which was out of character for me.“Can you ladies give us a minute?” Zach asked.The four women who had followed u

She's Not the One

TerranHe sighed. “Your yacht, your condo, the beach house, the cars? Aren’t all those things worth a ball and chain?”I glared at him from behind my dark, thousand-dollar sunglasses. “I don’t know. That’s the problem.”He laughed. “It’s a wife. It isn’t a death sentence.”“You don’t want to be married any more than I do.”Zach chuckled. “No, but my dad didn’t put a clause in his will demanding I be married by thirty-five or I would lose my inheritance. He probably knew I’d never be able to do that. It isn’t in the Bailey DNA. Baileys were meant to be bachelors, enjoying all the women the world has to offer.”I groaned. “My dad was one of the guys who believed you mate for life. He never remarried after my mom died. He was never interested in another woman. When I was ten, I used to appreciate that. I didn’t want a stepmom. I never knew he would insist I be like him. I’m not built to have only one woman.”“Me either. Are you sure you can’t persuade the attorney handling the will to ig

Photo Shoot

HaileyThe constant flash from the camera was giving me a headache. I couldn’t wait until I got the break I needed to become an actress. A successful actress. There were millions of actresses, but only a select few ever achieved the status I wanted. For now, I was modeling. The career had paid the bills since I was a teenager, but it was time to do something different. “Great job, Hailey,” the photographer, Carl, said. “Let’s do a series with you beside the bike since Brittany can’t figure out how to look sexy.” I climbed off the bike, giving the young new model, Brittany, a comforting smile. “You’re doing fine. Don’t listen to him.”She nodded her head. I could see the disappointment in her eyes. I was like her when I first started. Too many photographers were obnoxious and rude. They didn’t treat models like human beings. They treated us like objects to be posed and manipulated to their will.“She’s not doing fine,” the surly man snapped. “I’m going to have to retake all those sho

The Orphanage

Hailey“Hey, you,” she said when I walked into the rec room where she was surrounded by a small group of kids at a large circular table.“Hailey!” several of them shouted, running to wrap their arms around me.“Hi, guys!” I greeted each and every one of them with a hug.“What brings you by?” Mandy asked.I shrugged a shoulder, looked at the kids and then her. She gave me a subtle nod, understanding it wasn’t a child-appropriate conversation.“I wanted to come by and see some of my most favorite people in the world,” I said with a smile.Mandy grinned. “Thank you. You know how much they appreciate your visits. Guys, I think Hailey wants to make one of our beaded necklaces.”The group erupted into cheers, which always made me feel good. I loved being able to brighten their days a bit.The kids in this group ranged in age from five to ten. Some were recently orphaned, while a few had been orphaned shortly after birth. They had never known what it was like to have a loving mother and fath

A Call From the Lawyer

TerranIt was the typical Monday morning with my secretary going over my calendar for the week. As usual, it was packed full of meetings with potential clients and the ad execs in charge of the various clients. I always had a lot of balls in the air, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I liked being busy. Busy meant job security for myself and the hundred people I employed.“You have the meeting with the model for the sportswear company later today,” Lena said. “Do you need her file?” I shook my head. “No.”The phone rang, and she answered it from my own desk, which felt a little strange, but she would have slapped my hand away if I tried to answer my own phone.“Just a moment please,” she said, pushing a button and returning the phone to its cradle.“Who is it?” I asked, watching her gather her things.“Your father’s attorney. He says it’s important.”I groaned. That couldn’t be good. “Thank you, Lena.”She stopped at the door and smiled. “Let me know if you need anything,” she sa

Another Stipulation

TerranBob cleared his throat. “It isn’t just the inheritance you stand to lose. He owned a majority share in your company. If you don’t meet his requirements, he has demanded the company be dissolved, with stockholders getting their investments back.”My mouth fell open. “It’s my company!”Bob shook his head. “Your father was a silent partner. He put up the capital and still owned a majority of the company. I mistakenly believed his shares reverted to you on his death. They have not. You will lose the company and your inheritance if you do not marry within the next six months or be close to marrying by then.”“Bullshit,” I argued. “I built that company. His investment wasn’t even a fraction of what the company is worth now.” “Which will make some shareholders very happy when they get a fat check. Their investment will have proven to be a worthy one.”I shook my head. “He can’t do this. It’s my company.”Bob slid a piece of paper across his desk. “I’m sorry. Legally he can, and he ha

Meeting with the Boss

HaileyThe butterflies dancing in my stomach were making me jittery.I was used to walking runways, but walking into the building of the ad company that had helped launch my modeling career to the next level was nerve-wracking. I knew I was on the older end of the modeling spectrum. My days as a model were numbered. Few models got to keep working into their thirties. It wasn’t exactly fair, but it was the business. Maybe they were going to tell me my contract was being tossed out the window because I was too old. I wasn’t what they were looking for, or I was too difficult to work with. My own insecurities had offered up a litany of reasons for the rather sudden meeting.I was meeting with the CEO, which was only making me more nervous. Terran Maddox had a very colorful reputation. I knew of him vaguely but had never been all that interested in getting to know more about him. I was convinced he was like the rest of the men who were wealthy and held positions of power. That was not the

What Now?

HaileyI let my guard down. He was a professional and technically one of my bosses, I assumed. “I’m good. How are you?” I extended my hand.He grinned, taking my hand in his before bringing the back of it to his lips for a too-long kiss. “Better now, thanks to you. I’m Marty, by the way. It’s very nice to meet you.” His friendly smile turned into one of pure lechery, making my skin crawl.“Good to meet you, Marty,” I said, ignoring his attempt to flatter me while pulling my hand back.“What brings a gorgeous woman like you here today? It isn’t often we are blessed with a woman of your beauty.”I politely laughed at his attempt to flirt while taking a step back. “I was just here for a meeting with Mr. Maddox.”“Oh, how’d that go?” he asked, the smile still in place, but his eyes began to wander.“It didn’t. He isn’t in.” I did my best to remain friendly, but his roving eyes were starting to piss me off.“Oh, that’s too bad. I have some free time. I can get us a couple of coffees, and w

Another Idea

TerranI hadn’t been able to think of anything else except my father’s demands. I would lose everything. He hadn’t given me a choice. He was making me marry someone I couldn’t possibly love. In his attempt to give me that happiness he was convinced I was missing out on, he was damning me to a miserable life of being trapped in a marriage I didn’t want. How could he have possibly thought that was better than a lifetime of being single?I felt physically ill. The stress over what had to be done was disrupting my ability to think straight. No matter how much I tried to think of anything else, everything seemed to come back to my father’s will. Going to work, I realized I could soon be out of a job. Sitting behind my desk reminded me it could all be gone in six short months. I felt like my entire life was about to crumble beneath me. The morning passed in a blur. I barely remembered the meetings, only the mention of things being shuffled around, and my earlier appointment would be later

The Most Beautiful Creature

TerranZach looked thoughtful for a second. “I don’t know. Maybe five, ten percent of the money you are supposed to get?” That seemed like a lot of money. “I guess that’s fair.”“I can’t ask a woman who already has money. She’ll have no motivation to keep up the ruse.”“Ask someone who doesn’t have money.”“And how do I find that person?” I asked, frustrated. “Am I supposed to go around asking every woman how much money she has in her bank account?” “Probably not a good idea. You meet a woman, talk to her, get an idea of her background, and make assumptions from there.”I nodded my head, the idea sounding better and better. “She needs to be around my age and attractive. Bob will never believe the story if I show up with anything other than that.”Zach was grinning. “This is going to be fun. Now, where should we start looking? How about the waitress?”I shook my head. “I don’t know. I can’t go around asking just anybody if they want to participate in a scheme to get money. I need to
