Not only that but despite the crappy situations she keeps her humor about her and makes him laugh. She puts on the exercise clothes that were purchased for her and Cesar sees that she doesn’t need to diet and exercise at all he loves her body the way she is. This is where Cesar starts seeing the real Dixie. Cesar arranges to have new clothes, new hair and make-up, diet and a fitness trainer to come and “help” Dixie. lolĭixie finally agrees – seeing no other options and goes with Cesar to his home – where she is promptly put into the servants quarters. Or is he? His plan to make Dixie into someone that he feels is an appropriate fiance for one such as himself – a slim line Dixie Mark Two. Cesar appears to be the lesser of the two evils. While Dixie is resistant to Cesar’s offer at first, she soon figures out that it’s prison (for her debts) or Cesar. So he concocts a plan to pretend to be engaged to Dixie (yes, the same woman that annoys the hell out of him). But Cesar then finds out that Jasper’s health is failing and Cesar wants to make Jasper’s last days happy ones. Cesar is more or less overjoyed that he gets to fire Dixie and get rid of her once and for all. Cesar finds out because they do random credit scans at the bank and being in debt is grounds for dismissal. She had not one single trait which didn’t grate on her cool, sophisticated employer.ĭixie has financial issues because of her step-sister and is currently in debt. She’s really an inept worker and can’t seem to do anyhing right but make coffee and fetch things – but everyone loves her to death…except Cesar. She got the jobthrough a friend of hers who happens to be Cesar’s godfather, Jasper, and the man that has raised Cesar since he was 12.

Cesar’s bachelor days were over! Within a week, he was standing at the altar, and Dixie was his bride–though unbeknown to Cesar, she was now also the mother of his child!ĭixie Robinson works at a bank owned by Cesar Valverde. Well, perhaps a temporary engagement to Dixie would be enough to please Cesar’s godfather.īut Cesar discovered Dixie was a beautiful, sensual virgin, and he couldn’t help but make love to her. But Cesar knew it would please his ailing godfather more than anything if he got married, preferably to Dixie Robinson. Part of me was thinking that I really was not going to like this book but I was wrong.Ĭesar Valverde was the man with everything–stunning good looks, wealth and a bachelor lifestyle.

Folks – she used the word DEFY! How can I ignore that for any length of time? I couldn’t – I had to go out, get the book and read it.
