The Paid Companion

Amanda Quick (writing as Berkley) delivers a delicious Victorian romance where respectability meets scandal. When Elenora Lodge agrees to pose as a wealthy man's paid companion to deflect unwanted marriage prospects, she expects a simple business arrangement—not intrigue, danger, or an inconvenient attraction to her enigmatic employer. Quick's signature blend of witty banter, simmering chemistry, and mystery makes this utterly unputdownable. Perfect for readers who love their historical romance with a generous helping of suspense and a heroine who's nobody's fool.
