"Every once in a while you find the perfect combination of thrill, sizzle and laughs, and this was it!" Hotel Hades seeks pretend Persephone; ladies need not apply. Lady Isabella Merriweather hoards gossip like dragon’s gold, especially now that her brother’s happiness is at stake. She’ll do anything to ensure he marries the right woman, even donning a maid’s uniform and challenging a mysterious hotelier who wants her to be his wife. Rowan Trent needs a pretend bride, not a real one. That would require him to join society, and he’d rather not. Especially when he’s busy buying a new inn, a deal in danger when the owner refuses to sell to a bachelor. Rowan must marry, but why do that when he can simply hire help? He knows the perfect woman for the job—beautiful and cunning and no maid at all. She needs the gossip streaming though his hotel halls. And he needs a beautiful pretender. A tenuous partnership, a fake marriage, and a searing attraction both real and inconvenient. They’ll need each other to regain control of their lives, but they risk losing their hearts.
