    Bartleby the Scrivener meets Catch-22 in this charmingly sardonic tale of love, war and fertilizer.
       
    WINNER OF THE PRIX DES COLLAGIENS
       
    Simon turned his thoughts to her daily. There were few enough of them, but each one lingered. He imagined their life together. Sometimes even their children’s lives. Sometimes he set his fantasies in Spain, sometimes America, less often Peru– so many settings, all of which turned into the bedroom, eventually.
       
    It's 1862, and Spain is a little rueful about letting Peru have their independence. Or, more importantly, letting Peru have the guano – 'white gold' – on the Chincha Islands. Simon is the ship's recorder on a scientific – okay, military – expedition when he meets, in Callao, the mysterious Montse. She asks of him only that he write her letters. Which he utterly fails to do. As military tensions escalate, so does Simon's unabated lust for Montse – even if he can't bring himself to do anything about it.
       
    "A novel that makes you want to read long passages out loud – or at least memorize snippets, just for the music of the words of Québec writer Louis Carmain." — La Presse (translated from the French)

    She was meant to be a transaction. He decided to make her his desire. 
    For Lord Edmund, marriage to Lady Annabel is nothing but a strategic move — a flawless arrangement to further his political ambitions. Innocent, obedient, and schooled in rigid propriety, she is the perfect façade. But the moment he sees not just fear, but quiet curiosity in her eyes, cold calculation begins to give way to something far more dangerous. 
    He will be her first man. 
    Her only tutor in the secrets of the marital bed. 
    He will teach her body to respond to his touch — and her soul to yearn for more. 
    Raised in a world of silence and shame, Annabel is unprepared for the temptations that await behind the closed door of the bedchamber. Every caress becomes a forbidden lesson. Every whispered word — a sweet poison unraveling everything she thought she knew. 
    But the longer this dangerous game of seduction plays out, the blurrier the lines become. 
    Who is the teacher now, and who the willing pupil? 
    And what happens when a man who sought only power discovers his own heart held captive by the very woman he awakened? 
    A story of sensual awakening, forbidden desire, and love that arrives when least expected — 
    where even the strictest rules exist only to be broken.

    I asked a sexy stranger to be my fake fiancé . . . and he said yes! 
     
     
     
    Small-town politics aren't my thing. All I want is to run my store in peace, without interference from the town's busybodies. And the mayor. Otherwise known as my ex-husband. But I'm not that lucky. Disapproving glances. Disparaging comments. Outright hostility to my face. 
     
     
     
    With my store—and my reputation—on the line, I'll do anything to save it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Including asking Simon Belvy to be my fake fiancé. I didn't think he'd agree to my outrageous plan. Except, he did. But it's all pretend, right? 
     
     
     
    He's my knight in shining armor. An unexpected ally. With every stolen glance and tender touch, our connection deepens. Lines blur. 
     
     
     
    And then? We're obliterating every rule we ever made. This is only temporary. It's not real. 
     
     
     
    Will Simon tear down the walls around my heart? Or will he shatter it in the process? 
     
     
     
    This whole fake engagement might not be so fake after all . . .
