Billionaire's Wife On Paper. Melanie Milburne

      

      “I need a temporary wife.”

      Logan McLaughlin can’t lose his Scottish family estate. But to rescue it, his grandfather’s will demands he wed! Logan avoids real relationships, having failed so significantly at love before. So when housemaid Layla suggests he take a convenient wife, he’s intrigued…

      Untouched Layla never imagined Logan would choose her! With her scars, she feels far from the perfect bride. Yet to protect the only home she’s ever known, she’ll wear Logan’s ring… But can she ignore the burning connection threatening to destroy their paper-only arrangement?

      MELANIE MILBURNE read her first Mills & Boon novel at the age of seventeen, in between studying for her final exams. After completing a master’s degree in education, she decided to write a novel, and thus her career as a romance author was born. Melanie is an ambassador for the Australian Childhood Foundation and a keen dog-lover and trainer. She enjoys long walks in the Tasmanian bush. In 2015 Melanie won the HOLT Medallion, a prestigious award honouring outstanding literary talent.

      To my darling little black poodle Gonzo,

      who sadly passed away during the writing of this

      novel. I miss you sleeping on the sofa behind me in

      my office while I write. I miss your ebullient nature

      and zest for life—as if you always knew, like us, that

      it wasn’t going to be a long one. Your life may have

      been short but you have left love footprints all over

      our hearts. Rest in peace. No more seizures now.
