The Cost of Love - Paperback

A marriage of convenience was not exactly what he had in mind when he vowed she'd one day be his.

Antonio Jenkins is resigned to being a bachelor for life. Everyone around him is getting their happily ever after, leaving him without hope of ever finding his special someone. Until he meets Scarlett. He instantly knows she's the one for him. Yet proving it to her is going to be the biggest battle of his life.

Single mom Scarlett Rowsey craves that toe-curling, heart-stopping, undeniable love she's seen in the movies. But history has shown her it's impossible. She's incapable of falling in love. However, everything changes when she learns her daughter, Bella, might be in danger. There's nothing Scarlett wouldn't do to protect her-even marry someone she may never love. Antonio is everything she longs for in a man-kind, gentle, and protective. Still, Scarlett fears she might crush his heart in the end.

For Antonio, a marriage of convenience is a small price to pay to love and protect the woman of his dreams. But will Scarlett lower her guard enough to see this arrangement as more than a transaction?
