R.J. Maitland's reputation is in tatters after a story runs in the paper that he fathered and abandoned a child. So, he proposes a marriage in name only to his secretary, Dana. Dana has been in love with him for years and tells him that she will only agree if they have a real marriage.
This is part of the Maitland Maternity series and a quick read. I liked the first half of the book, but got bored with the hero's attitude in the second half. I was a little confused by unknown characters who I didn't know just popping up in the story with no explanation. I assume they were mentioned in previous books in the series. My rating: 2 Stars.
I loved this book from start to finish....couldn't put it down till I'd read it all.

Cute read.
R.J. Maitland, President of Maitland Maternity, was forced to do some major damage control. The media circus surrounding allegations that he fathered an abandoned child had left his reputation in tatters and the clinic in jeopardy.
Dana Dillinger had been R.J.'s right hand for years- loyal, dependable...and hopelessly, secretly in love with him. When he suggested that marriage was the best way to salvage the situation and prove he wasn't the playboy the press has labeled him, Dana accepted his "proposal." With one exception...
R.J. wanted a marriage in name only-no sex, just marriage. Dana wanted the all the marital rights of a bride-including and especially sex-or the deal was off. Between a rock and a hard place, R.J. agreed, not knowing what he'd just gotten himself into!
