Christine Lange thought she'd found a white knight, only to learn there's no such thing. And even though her world's falling apart, she decides she can make it on her own - until a gorgeous guy appears out of the blue, offering a helping hand. Christine grabs it, pride be damned. Surely her heart will remain safe because Tonio's gay. At least, she assumes so. Why else would a man who looks like that need a temporary wife? Tonio needs a wife and the sexy redhead is perfect. She's attractive, desperate...and since she doesn't like men, there's no danger of her falling in love with him. But Fate likes to play with those who tempt her, and an agreement to see to each other's physical needs soon has them scorching the sheets. Christine gives Tonio her body, but it isn't long before he realizes what he really wants is her heart. Note: This book was previously published as Dictated By Fate and has been revised for Ellora's Cave.
