The new book- "Merger" - It was to be a merger rather than a marriage of convenience. She needed to be married, by her thirtieth birthday and he needed to be married to avoid a take-over and to hold on to the firm that had been run by his family for decades. During their one and only meeting over lunch they had agreed on the finer points of this merger. Their engagement would be large and loud. He'd insisted on that. Their wedding would be small and private. She'd insisted on that. They would live together for a year, and they both agreed, it would be sufficient for their situation. A shame it was that simple.
