Carnal In Cannes — Jianne Carlo

Explosive sex builds a tentative trust and beginnings of love, but Martine's secrets could destroy it all.

Money, power, and women all come easy to Harrison Indiana Ford. Yet he wants more -- to ensure his daddy's oil fortune goes to him -- not Delora, the stepmother who seduced him as a teenager. If Harry doesn't marry a virgin and produce an heir before he turns 32, Delora inherits it all. D-day and unpredictable circumstances force Harry to hire a matchmaker and marry a stranger.

Martine's survived the streets of Haiti's capital with her virginity intact, but she's no innocent. Fleeing persecution, she stows away on a cargo ship, and enters France illegally. Desperate for the million Euro Harry offers for her virginity and their child so she can bring her ailing grandmother to France, she signs the pre-nuptial contract using forged documents.

Delora's not about to let a billion dollars slip through her hands. There are too many ways to sabotage a relationship, prevent a pregnancy. And it's so easy to foster suspicion and hatred where there's no trust. What Delora doesn't count on is the explosive sexual relationship that develops between Harry and Martine. Still, as lust morphs into caring, Delora's detectives search for Martine's hidden secrets.
