A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
Falling in love with your husband is anything but convenient in this steamy romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Business or Pleasure.
Dani Dorfman has somehow made it to her thirties without knowing what she wants to do with her life. So when an office romance ends poorly and gets her fired, she applies for a job in Amsterdam, idly dreaming of escaping the mess she’s created, but never imagining she'll actually get it.
Except she does. By the end of her first week in Amsterdam, she’s never felt more adrift or alone. Then she crashes her bike into her high school ex-boyfriend—and suddenly life is blooming with new opportunities.
Wouter van Leeuwen was a Dutch exchange student Dani’s family hosted, a forbidden love that ended in a painful breakup. Years later, there’s still sizzling chemistry between them, and okay, maybe a little animosity. More importantly, Wouter needs to be married to inherit a gorgeous family home on a canal—and when Dani's job falls apart, she needs a visa. As the marriage of convenience pushes them together in unexpected ways, Dani must decide whether her new life is yet another mistake—or if it's worth taking a risk on a second chance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Solomon (Business or Pleasure) offers the sizzling story of a marriage of convenience between high school sweethearts. After a messy breakup with a coworker and resulting job loss, 30-something Californian Dani Dorfman needs to get away from her overprotective parents and make a new start—so she boldly takes a job in Amsterdam. While biking around her new city, she literally crashes into Wouter Van Leeuwen, her forbidden first love from the year he spent as an exchange student with her family. Soon thereafter, Dani's apartment is flooded and her Dutch employer goes under. Meanwhile, Wouter needs a wife to inherit his historic family home. Marriage solves both their problems, providing Dani with housing and time to find employment. Though they agree the arrangement is strictly practical, their old attraction is as strong as ever and pretending they're in love in front of Wouter's family brings old feelings to the surface. Even after they succumb to their physical chemistry, however, insecurities on both sides may prevent them from trusting each other enough to make their marriage real and lasting. Solomon showcases her talent for creating flawed but appealing characters, and it's gratifying to see Dani and Wouter's relationship mature. The author's fans will not be disappointed.
