The Chaperone

In need of extra money after a divorce, I take a job with Companions for Hire. I'm not any good at it. I'm too quiet. Too shy. Too uncomfortable with social situations. So when I'm assigned as a kind of chaperone for the teenage daughter of a single father on a month-long trip to Europe, I jump at the chance. It sounds simple and pays really well. I assume the girl will be spoiled and her father will be a workaholic, but neither of them are what I expect.



Candice is bookish and withdrawn, and it's a challenge to draw her out of her shell. But that's nothing compared to what Hugh does to me. He's smart and funny and dangerously attractive, and he keeps trying to get to know me. I shouldn't want to get close to him. After my failed marriage, I'm not inclined to trust easily. Plus, getting close to him would be breaking the rules of my job.



I work for Companions for Hire, which means sex is against the rules and falling in love is out of the question.



The Chaperone is the second book in the Companions for Hire series about a company that provides a variety of social partners for a price.
