When Alec Creighton arrives at the Ryder ranch with orders to streamline the family's corporation, Ryder International, Stephanie Ryder is afraid that he will find fault with her management of Ryder Equestrian Center which doesn't bring in as much money as the other ventures and is determined to show him it's worth not just the bottom line.

The time Alec and Stephanie spend together going over her business profitability makes it obvious that there's heat between them, which leads to a night of passion. After Alec is back in Chicago, Stephanie learns that she is pregnant and when her brothers learn the news they demand that Alec marry her. Stephanie doesn't want to be married just for the sake of a child but wonders if there might be more between them than just one night.

His Convenient Virgin Bride is the third book in author Barbara Dunlop's Montana Millionaires: The Ryders series.

Alec and Stephanie are compelling characters who keep the pages sizzling with the heat that flows between them. Stephanie shows strength and determination throughout the story about her work. Although when it comes to Alec she was more than a little unsure of her feelings which I would think is normal since she didn't know him well. I felt that Stephanie dealt with all the changes in her life with poise.

Ms. Dunlop has penned a solid, enjoyable story that provides readers with a quick, entertaining break from the real world. 4 Angels!
