I enjoyed His Fiancee for One Night so much that I decided to try another title by Trish Morey. This book did not disappoint, and Trish is now on my authors to buy list.
His Mistress for a Million is a combination of the old "marriage of convienence", cinderella makeover, and naive almost-virgin stories, rolled into one. While that might sound chaotic, it's actually really well-written. I had a hard time putting the story down. The reason I gave this story five stars (maybe 4.5 would be more accurate) was because it had a twist toward the middle/end that had me wondering for several pages what was going to happen and how we were going to get our happily-ever-after.
Here's a very brief synopsis:
The heroine is an Austrailian woman. She's young, has feelings of inadequacy, and has been scammed by an internet boyfriend who lured her to London, took her money and her virginity before humilitaing her and leaving her alone, broke, and broken-hearted. She gets a job cleaning a really sleezy, run-down hotel where she sleeps in a storage closet and earns a very poor wage under-the-table. The hotel is taken over by a Greek hotel-tycoon who had no knowledge that she worked/lived there. He fires her and tells her to leave, but feels bad that he is leaving her broke, unemployed, and homeless. He arranges for her to have a job/board at one of his five-star hotels in London and is intercepted by repeated phone calls from his assistant who, after a one-night stand that he regrets, is telling him how much she misses him. He decides he needs a new girlfriend to help him convince his assistant that he is not interested in anything more than a working relationship, and manages to convince the heroine to be his pretend mistress for a million dollars. Sex not included in the cost, but could be an unpaid side benefit for them both.
Even if this story doesn't sound like one you'd be interested in, check out Trish Morey. She's creative and a fast-paced storyteller.
