She doesnā€™t want to be a kept womanā€¦

Josephine Potter knows she must retain her employment to provide for her younger sisters and to maintain the house.  While a young woman working as an accountant ā€“ at a hotel no less ā€“ could be frowned upon by some, itā€™s still a respectable way to earn a living. No matter what a certain duke might think. Besides, Josephine has a few rules she lives by: Donā€™t rely on others, donā€™t accept money from someone you donā€™t know, and never allow a man to control your life. But when she is fired from her job, Josephine may have to bend a few rulesā€¦

Devon, the Duke of Snowdon, has never met a more bull-headed woman than Josephine Potter! The Potter sisters are granddaughters of an earl and should not have to work for a living. So despite Josephineā€™s arguments, Devon insists she end her employee status immediately and accept a stipend for her and her sisters. When she is then fired, she accuses him of meddling in her lifeā€¦and things are about to heat up despite the cold winter weather. As they work together to figure out why Devonā€™s hotel is losing money, a mutual attraction that wonā€™t be denied, grows between them.

But when rumors of impropriety abound, can Josephineā€™s reputation be savedā€¦or will her life be destroyed by scandal?
