A nice light-hearted read perfect for a day lazing about the house at the weekend.

When she tells her boss she is given the ultimatum that she will take the position or loose her job with the magazine and no longer be able to work in the profession let alone waitressing. Given this ultimatum and given her own strong morales instilled in her by her grandmother she quits her job.
Realising that she will not be able to cope without money, she agrees to marry Julian with his offered six months for 5 million pounds. They are married in Vegas with a prenup in place and she is flown to London and Paris before Marseilles to get her a brand new wardrobe.

With no other option, she wears on of the other dresses that Julian had bought for her, but the weather gets worse and she gets rather wet.

A good beginning to the series.
