Bride by Design

Eve Birmingham is devoted to the famous jewelry company called Birmingham on State, but she's a businesswoman, not a jewelry designer. Eve's in line to inherit the family business, but she didn't inherit the genes that would let her create marvelous jewelry - and with the pending retirement of her grandfather, the man who built the company, Birmingham on State must have a new designer who can carry the business into the future. David Elliot is the best there is.
He's young, skilled, gifted, visionary. and poor enough that he's willing to accept a bargain to join not only the family firm, but the family. By marrying Eve, he can take over Birmingham on State. He'd be a fool to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime - even if it means sharing his life with a mystery woman who won't explain why she's willing to marry for the sake of a business. Is Eve Birmingham really the glacier she appears? Or is there a volcano buried underneath? Classic romance from international bestselling author Leigh Michaels Leigh Michaels is the award-winning author of more than 100 books, including historical romance, contemporary romance, and books about writing.
