Promises Made — Bernice Layton

Craig Thompson has a problem: His grandfather has just left him $3 million, but the only way he can get his hands on the money is if he's married. According to the will, Thompson must be married for at least three months before the bank will hand over the money. Craig thinks he's got the solution in hand: his childhood friend Renee. They made childish promise to marry when they were both very young, and now Craig is determined to get her to follow through. Renee has problems of her own: an ex has stolen her life savings and is now threatening her safety. A marriage, even for three months, seems a godsend. However, the old sparks quickly heat up, and before long Craig and Renee are fighting to keep their love alive in the face of their own secrets ... and an unexpected enemy who wants Craig's money and will go to any lengths to get it.
