Adam Hawkes is married. And his family is astounded when he
drops this bombshell on them. How could he have kept it a secret? But his
marriage to Callie Mitchell was no traditional wedding. It was a drunken lark
in Las Vegas. Only now the very fact that they are married is biting them
because they are working together and being blackmailed about it.
So they decided to come clean and pretend its real. Though a
real marriage would ensure Adam and Callie would be thrown together more and
the chemistry between them as usual soars.
Could they turn their lark of a marriage into something
real?
Read HIS 24-HOUR WIFE to find out how Adam and Callie deal
with forced nearness and pretend marriage. It is a romance filled with red-hot
passion yet sweet and tender moments too. Author Rachel Bailey did a great job
of bringing Callie and Adam together when it seemed it was impossible for them
to ever reach a compromise.
Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

Ms Bailey writes stories that are sensual so very enjoyable and take us away on such happy journeys and this one was so good this is the third story about The Hawke Brothers and this is Adam's story the eldest of the boys and they run the famous Hawke's Blooms flower company from growing designing and florist stores and what happens in Vegas does not always stay there.
Adam Hawke is the eldest of the Hawke Brothers and the most conservative and there are reasons he is like this and although he is so very good looking and could have just about any woman he wanted he does not want a permanent relationship like his brothers oh he can see they are happy but his feelings on the matter are deep and fixed or are they when after a drunken weekend at a conference in Vegas he does the unthinkable and lets loose, and now this is coming to haunt him.
Callie Mitchell is a very hard worker beautiful and caring and loves her job in PR but when she meets CEO Adam Hawke and they enjoy such a fun filled and sensual weekend in Vegas that ends up with them married things are going to change dramatically for her there is an instant attraction between them but in the morning they decide to go their separate ways and divorce but although they are not together it is their secret and the divorce has not happened. But when Callie is offered a job that will bring her in contact with Adam she must speak to him especially when she is blackmailed by one of her fellow workers.
This is such a beautiful story that is filled with desire sensual attraction and feelings that need to be talked about as Callie and Adam journey a moving and heart-warming path to the best HEA back where it all started. Callie and Adam come to life on the pages they are so real and of course meeting up with the rest of the family is always great, MS Bailey never disappoints me with her wonderful stories and this is one I highly recommend and another for the keeper shelf that will be re-read.
5/5 stars for an awesome story

HIS 24-HOUR WIFE by Rachel Bailey is a brilliant and charmingly romantic story with just the right touch of scandal sprinkled on top.
Adam Hawke is keeping a big fat secret. It’s three years now since he’s been attending business conferences in Las Vegas. But at these conferences it’s not all work and no play. Each year at the conferences, he hooks up with the stunning Callie Mitchell and they play hooky in the bedroom.
On their third year, however, things change in drastic proportions. Drunk and totally off their bearings, Adam and Callie get married in a whirlwind affair. The saying ‘what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’ is the opposite for them. Someone knows their secret and will wield it against them if Callie doesn’t back out from the promotion at work. Not wanting to create a scandal and feed fodder to the media, Adam and Callie cultivate the perfect plan to deflect the truth and make their marriage real for the world when really it’s a big fat lie!
But in the breathtaking world of high society living, as they play out their fake marriage for the world to gush over, Adam and Callie become closer than ever. The sizzling chemistry between them grows flagrant and out of control and what should have been a fake marriage becomes real and lasting.
His 24-Hour Wife is a perfect story with a perfect and deserving HEA. Ms. Bailey has woven together a novel worth re-reading and it was fun catching up with the other Hawke brothers and their beautiful partners.
