Wife: Bought and Paid For by Jacqueline Baird

Description from the book back cover: Penny is stuck: her ex-boyfriend Solo Maffeiano owns half her family home, yet she needs to pay off a barrage of debts left by her late father. She has no choice but to agree to Solo's offer: he will pay the debts and restore the dilapidated mansion where they will live - if Penny becomes his wife! She will be his wife, bought and paid for - and he wants a wife in every sense of the word. Their attraction is as strong as ever; their passion is a hundred times more powerful ... Penny discovers she's still in love with Solo - but isn't their marriage just a sham?

Marriage or Bankruptcy?

Solo Maffeiano is a self-made man who has it all--looks, money, and prestige. Penelope Haversham, who lives with her family in their decrepit mansion, is a young woman devoted to her family. After seeing Penny's picture in a magazine, Solo was instantly attracted to her. When he finally gets a chance to meet her face-to-face, he's knows she is the only one for him. After the death of her parents, years later, a more mature Penny comes to term with the fact that she must sell her home in order to pay inheritance tax but what she did not know was that Solo owns half of her mansion.Penny is great character who is smart, strong and full of love. Solo, who is much older than her, is as tough as they come. He's lonely, fears rejection, and try's his best to fight the feelings Penny stir in him. This couple gets a second chance but is Solo ready to put his heart on the line, this time? Is he willing to admit that it takes more than chemistry to make a marriage work? Great love story, you will not be able to put it down.
