Carnal — Jianne Carlo

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 thirty-two, 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 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 and 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. As lust morphs into caring, Delora's detectives search for Martine's hidden secrets. How did Martine get from Haiti to France? This book was originally released in September of 2010, and has been substantially updated and reedited for this edition.
