A Business Proposal

About the Book

Rachel Cameron’s whole world crumbled when her fiancé Paul Harben broke their engagement just a few short weeks before returning to England for their wedding. He had been working in a remote area of Africa for Steele Mining where she, too, with her design experience, was to have become part of the same research team. A tentative contract had been drawn up, but now her dreams of exploring that continent with her husband were shattered. The owner of the corporation, Logan Steele, was furious when he learned of Rachel’s abandonment. He had looked at her photo on Harben’s desk so often that he felt a sense of responsibility to ease the devastation she must be feeling. Somehow, he must contrive a situation that would help her rebuild her life. But would she agree?
