Emily Quest is determined to uphold and protect the name of Quest Restorations, the business started by her grandfather and to that extent the story starts with her crashing a risqué party

Grace Blair is newly widowed at 25, her 40yo husband having recently died of a heart attack, leaving her to inherit his electronics business which she knows nothing about and which isn't in the best of shape financially.

Emily Quest and Ethan West met few years ago at a party where she appeared to be stealing a Chinese ceramic piece.  Years later, when Emily's restoration business and house burn down, Ethan's uncle, Peter Nash offers his help.  From what he'd seen of her, Ethan thinks she is a liar, tart, gold-digger, and is worried she is going to take advantage of his uncle.  He is about to make her face the

This is a two in one Presents featuring two stories with characters who are not quite who they seem...

Back Cover:

The things she had to do to save her family business! Emily Quest had dressed to the nines and gone to an awful party, where she'd been rescued by a handsome stranger.

Despite the sizzling attraction between them, Emily never thought she'd see him again. But now he's right in front of her, as gorgeous as ever! Ethan West thinks Emily is a rapacious good-time girl, and he's about to make her face the consequences—in his bed!

Favourite Scene: (great banter! love that they shoot back at each other)

‘Because if you had a sibling you’d know that gloating is bad form—and the quickest way to escalate a fight.’

‘Then why do I get the feeling you’re a champion gloater?’ she shot back, and Peter laughed.

‘He doesn’t call it gloating. He calls it savouring victory.’

Back Cover:

Grace under pressure.  Running into a potential business partner late at night in a broken elevator - when one was wearing a glamorous fur with nothing on underneath - was awkward, but Grace Blair was cool enough to handle a hot situation. 

Her poised, controlled demeanor belied the insecurity she felt taking over her late husband's business empire, but Scott Gregory was able with one caressing glance to strip away all her pretenses.  Especially since the handsome New Zealander had made it clear from their first inauspicious meeting that in business, knowledge was power - and that he knew exactly what he wanted. 

Favourite Scene: (gasp! I can picture him growling this out, control gone!) 

"I'm as sober as you are!"  

"For your sake, I hope that's a lie, Grace," Scott ground out savagely. "But if it is true then maybe you've done me a favour. If you were teasing me deliberately I don't have to feel guilty for what I'm about to do." 

"Jane had been desperate to stop the wedding.  She'd had to prevent her best friend making the biggest mistake of her life... Marrying Ryan Blair would have been disastrous.  He was too rich, too powerful, too hot to handle!

There had only been one solution:  to stand up in church and declare that she, Jane Sherwood, respectable businesswoman, was having a secret torrid affair with Ryan!  It worked.  The wedding was finished.  But now Ryan was determined to make Jane pay for his wrecked marriage - by making her his mistress for real!"

This made me really want a millionaire to whisk me away to his beachouse for the weekend. Why doesn't that happen to me?
