Someone to Watch Over Me is a classic tale from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas.

A fun and laugh out loud read. Well worth it.
Good read!
It’s not the best of her best but still a great plot and a very fun read. The chemistry between the two main characters is great and the twist was incredibly clever. Avoid spoilers vigilantly! This one has everything you would expect from one of the queens of romance fiction.
