One wedding leads to another... Essie Russell met millionaire businessman Xavier Grey at a wedding: she was the chief bridesmaid; he was a distant relative of the bridegroom. They were strangers, yet for some reason Xavier clearly disapproved of Essie. She was determined not to care. She'd simply flirt with him and then leave the wedding! Only Xavier was intent on pursuing her. Rich and handsome, he was used to getting what he wanted -- and he wanted Essie! But when Xavier proposed, was it an affair or marriage he had in mind... and could Essie trust him? Marry me - Helen Brooks (a. k. a.
