Faye Stafford was being held prisoner as surely as if she were locked in a tower. A powerful man had discovered a condemning secret, and he'd forced her to become his fiancee. Then virile, cynical Jason Royce was assigned as her bodyguard, and Faye knew this wary ex-policeman was her last hope of escaping the bonds of mandatory matrimony. But first she'd have to make Jason hers... To Jason, bejeweled Faye was nothing more than a gold digger--until she pressed closer and revealed the vulnerable, passionate woman underneath. But which was the real Faye? And what was her game? All Jason knew was that he'd have to keep his head, because she'd taken his heart hostage!
