. . . N E W L Y W E D S  O F  C O N V E N I E N C E  by Ms. Jessica Hart

For Better?:  Corporate wife Mallory McIver has promised her new husband a businesslike marriage with no messy emotions,

For Worse?: Then Torr announces he's moving to the Highlands of Scotland to restore the derelict castle he's inherited.  And he expects Mallory to accompany him...

Forever:?  As Torr swaps his suits for jeans, Mallory is bewildered.  She's married to a sophisticated city-type, but in the country he's rugged, capable and altogether georgeous...Soon Mallory realises she's breaking the terms of their arrangement -- by falling for her own husband!

"Why don't you kiss me if you think I'm beautiful?"

He was her husband.  He thought she was beautiful.  Mallory sat next to Torr, her pulse booming in the dark, enclosed space of the car. She was burningly aware of his massive, reassuring presence,  The light from the dashboard illuminated his cheekbone, the time her eyes slid sideways to rest on his profile, she felt hollow and slightly sick.

He was her husband.  She ought to be able to lean across and put a hand on his thigh.  They would share a bed when they went home tonight, but she ought to be able to turn to her husband for more than warmth.  She ought to br able to press her lips to hos throat, to trail her fingers down his stomach, to kiss her way along his jaw and whisper in his ear.

if he thought she was beautiful, he ought to want her to do that, surely??
