Books like Hired Husband by Melanie Catley
Lillie Laughton thought she held all the strings. She had the face of an innocent, hair like a flaming halo, and she sang like a smoky-voiced angel. Those virtues - and her grandfather's love - had taken her straight to the top and made her a star. But even at the top a woman needed distraction. Evan Carleton, the attractive aircraft dispatcher, looked like he'd do nicely. Lillie was determined to seduce him and entangle him in a useful charade. All her plans were falling nicely into place ... until they reached the Bahamas and Evan's tender passion broke down the barriers to Lillie's heart.... Temperamental, demanding, Lillie had meant to love Evan and leave him. Could she convince him that she was capable of commitment before she lost the one love that could last a lifetime?
