What happens when you have a thief break into your home one evening? You hire his daughter to come and live with you and become your accountant.
When Andrew is awoken from sleep with a loud commotion coming from his office he hurries down to see who has broken into his home. He is surprised to find Rick and old friend of his late father digging through stuff looking for something to steal. Andrew gives him two options, one to leave via hospital or two leave via jail. Rick gets smart and tells him he will take option three of which Andrew tells him there is no other option. Trying to save his hide, Rick mentions the fact that Andrew is having accounting problems and that his daughter Sophia has her degree in accounting, hoping that she could come work for him in exchange for his freedom.
When Sophia’s dad tells her he needs a favor and acts all sketchy around her, she knows something is not right. He informs her that he had made a deal for her to work at Andrew’s doing the books because she’s the best and can figure out what was wrong. She agrees to help him and goes to work for Andrew. When she shows up Monday morning, her first meeting with Andrew is not a pleasant one. Liam, Andrew’s long time butler and friend, gives Sophia a tour of the mansion. He shows her her office and her room and bathroom, and she learns her dad left out some pertinent information when he asked her for help.
The first few days of working for Andrew do not go smoothly by any means. Talk about a paranoid man, always thinking the worst of Sophia but still lusting after her. Sophia makes progress going through the books finding a few indescrepencies here and there. Andrew asked Sophia if she wanted to accompany him to Africa on a dig. While there, they get closer and she worries when they get home if it will all change. Well something does change between them when she learns of the truth of what her father did and why she is really there.
Once again I am excited for the extended epilogue. It was nice to see what happened when the story was “over”. It really filled in all the holes for their HEA. Such a great read. I received an ARC of this book for my honest, voluntary review.
