Rick pulls over to help stranded driver Kendall Sutton, who still wearing a bridal gown, was jilted by her fiancé. Kendall has moved into the home of her deceased aunt, an abode that needs lots of work. Rick offers her a deal. If she pretends to be his lover and thus help him ward off his mother's minions, he will fix her house and help her with her teenage sister. As they put up a pretense of a loving couple, Rick and Kendall find neither want the sham to end as they are in love, but both has been burned once before in a loving relationship.

The second Chandler family contemporary romance, THE PLAYBOY, is an engaging tale that fans of Carly Phillips will fully relish. The story line focuses on two weary warriors whose wary looks at love make for a fine novel. His two brothers and mom and her sister provide depth so that the audience will gain pleasure in this novel, obtain the previous book (see THE BACHELOR) and anxiously await the finale (the exempt brother's story).
