A hard-working financial analyst goes above the call of duty to be her boss’s date for a weekend in this contemporary romance.

Reasons why Joshua Barton could never be interested in Eleanor Graham:

He is brilliant, gorgeous, wealthy, sophisticated, and managing partner at the financial firm of Hamilton, Barton, and Jones.

Eleanor, a mere cog at HB&J, is none of the above. However, she is sensible, logical, and knows better than to indulge in romantic dreams. She’s also pretty sure Joshua doesn’t even know her name.

Reasons why Eleanor is totally wrong—except for the part about her name:

She is unlike any woman Joshua has ever met—in a good way. She has a great laugh. And intriguingly, she happens to know a lot more about Joshua’s new stepmother than he does.

As for the rest, all will be revealed when she agrees to be something sort of like Joshua’s date for a long weekend at the Barton family estate . . . and Joshua finds himself doing his very best to persuade the very skeptical Eleanor to believe in happily ever afters . . .

In this Regency romance novella, a daring lady sets out to lose her maidenhood to the town’s most dangerous rogue—but she could lose her heart as well.

And what better way than to gamble that she can seduce Gareth Travers, the wild young Viscount of Longley? But Amelia never bargained that their one night of passion would make Gareth determined to win her forever.
