About this ebook

Friendship is all she can offer…
…but he makes her want so much more!
The incredibly attractive man on Brooke Jansen’s doorstep is definitely not the new housekeeper she’s expecting. CEO Tyler Murphy is filling in temporarily, yet within days he’s turned Brooke’s carefully curated life upside down! Suddenly she’s living—and feeling—again. But her connection with Tyler is dangerous, exciting and strangely familiar… After losing everything once already, can Brooke risk her damaged heart again?

“…Therese Beharrie never disappoints me. His Princess by Christmas was just the wholesome romance novel…. It's full of tropey goodness and is sure to leave you feeling all bright and positive.”
-Goodreads

“…I'm a ride-or-die Therese Beharrie fan and there's a reason for that: she writes some of the best romance novels and every book of hers is even better than her previous release. There's something magical about her writing and she never fails to make me swoon at the romances in her books. I couldn't get enough of it.”
-Goodreads on Marrying His Runaway Heiress

Ratings and reviews

When his nephew comes down with the chicken pox, business owner Tyler fills in for his sister as housekeeper for a new client. He's shocked to find that the employer is Brooke, a woman he had an almost-fling with five years earlier. Only she's acting as if she's never met him before. Can he keep the relationship professional, when what he really wants is to rekindle that old flame? This is a deeply emotional book. Brooke is still struggling with the loss of her husband, and Tyler with his father's betrayal. It's difficult for them to move forward with a new romance when those old hurts are holding them back. The pace is a little slower on this one, but it's the kind of slow where you savor it without getting bored. Definitely worth the read. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
