Married To Mr. Vice

Kimberly Campbell, a beautiful and goal driven financial analyst, knew exactly what she wanted for herself, and a baby didn't make the list. It was a huge stray from the big plans, and the commitment a baby required, she was certain she could never afford. With no one to blame, there was only one victim — the stupid glasses of Vodka that had led her into the arms of a man, whose first name was all she knew. Nicholas. Nicholas Vice loved nothing more than being in charge of his own life and decisions. And he was more proud of the casual and mutually-beneficial relationships with little to no commitments he enjoyed. But disappointment came in shocking waves when his father gave an ultimatum to marry his favorite and soon-to-be promoted staff, or risk losing his inheritance. Vexed and certain there was a ploy somewhere, Nicholas vowed to expose the gold digger who was trying to ruin his life. With determination in his heart, he took up his temp role at the head branch. But the unexpected twist occurs when Nicholas discovers that not only was his 'supposed bride' his one-night stand, she was also pregnant. Taking advantage of 'the' situation, he proposed a deal, the only one he believed would get him out of his father's ultimatum — a contract marriage. Marriage for a year in exchange for her pride and reputation.

Tempted

After dinner, Nicholas followed Kimberly to the door, the silence between them charged with a secret satisfaction neither dared to voice.

He held the door open for her, and the evening air cool and crisp embraced them as they stepped outside.

The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery light over the driveway where her car waited.

"Well, dinner went better than I expected," Kimberly said, a hint of relief in her voice. She turned to Nicholas, her eyes reflecting the moonlight. "Their reactions were priceless."

Nicholas chuckled. "I didn't expect anything less from them. I knew it was going to go well. They are my family after all, and we both know they love you."

Kimberly smiled, "Still, I couldn't help worrying a little," she confessed.

"Now you can put your worries to rest," Nicholas said, and his thoughts momentarily drifted to Paul.
