These Words — Tressie Lockwood

Previously published in an anthology.

When billionaire Easton Tremaine shows up in Kenzie's Boston sandwich shop, she's more than a little intrigued. Then he shares the news that his grandfather's will stipulates he can only gain control of his inheritance if he is married and has a child within one year. She wishes him luck with that and figures the sexy man shouldn't have a problem.

Easton will do whatever it takes to meet the terms of the will, including asking the beautiful businesswoman with a gift for words for her help. In fact, he figures Kenzie will make as good a wife as any other. He is shocked when she turns him down flat and refuses any assistance.

Easton will not give up, but Kenzie's convinced he has no real charm other than his money and looks. When sparks fly, Kenzie debates bedding the man and helping him find a woman.
