Beschreibung des Verlags
Bridgerton gets a taste of The Princess Switch in this irrepressibly charming historical romance.
New York heiress Aimee Thornton-Jones knows her mother’s plans precisely—to ship Aimee to England and marry her off to an eligible, titled lord. Only Aimee has no interest in becoming another “dollar princess.” Instead, she concocts a daring plan: to swap places with her fair (but poor) cousin for six weeks as a trainee at her father’s company and prove she’s just as valuable as any son. There’s just the small matter of her father’s too-perfect protégé, who she’s certain is endangering the entire business.
Harrison Stone doesn’t know what to make of the determined young woman in his employ. She’s vexingly irksome, reckless with her safety, and riles him at every turn. Each day, he’s torn between shipping her home…or thoroughly kissing her pert mouth. But Harrison—who loathes a charlatan—is certain she’s hiding something. And with the company under threat of sabotage, he’s resolved to find out exactly who this young lady truly is.
But in this masquerade of secrets, all it will take is one illicit kiss to ignite the spark…and bring them—unknowingly—to the edge of disaster...
Each book in the Dollar Princess series is STANDALONE:
* The Heiress Swap
* The Heiress Masquerade
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An heiress seeking to prove her business acumen discovers an unwanted attraction to her father's business partner in Michaels's seductive second Dollar Princess Victorian romance (after The Heiress Swap). New York socialite Aimee Thornton-Jones wants to be involved in the London office of her father's shipping business, but instead she's expected to spend the season husband hunting while her cousin Evie trains as a secretary. The women agree to switch places, Evie hitting the marriage market and Aimee heading to work. Aimee's immediately attracted to Harrison Stone, who runs the London office, but resents his arrogance and lack of faith in her abilities. When she discovers irregularities in the company's ledgers, however, he's reluctantly impressed. Growing chemistry leads to stolen kisses, but Aimee worries that once Harrison learns her true identity he'll only be interested in her money. Meanwhile, Harrison is wary of love after being orphaned at a young age. Michael makes the love-hate push and pull between Aimee and Harrison sexy, and her progressive heroine is sure to win readers over. This is a treat.
