‘I know of a job vacancy that might suit you.’

She opened her eyes and turned her head, still nestled on the leather headrest, to face Sebastian, not bothering to hide her suspicion. ‘You suddenly became Santa Claus?’

‘No, I suddenly became in need of a wife.’

She struggled to match his flippancy. ‘Is that a proposal?’

‘Yes.’

‘What I am suggesting is a business arrangement.’ Only his long fingers silently drumming on the steering wheel suggested he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

Mari’s fingers tightened on the door handle. ‘Hate is not a good basis for a business arrangement.’

‘I’ve factored that in,’ he retorted with unimpaired cool. ‘In public we would act the happy, loved-up couple.’

A hissing sound left her lips. ‘Marriage. You’re actually talking about marriage—it’s not a sick joke?’
