"A millionaire and a housecleaner are a match maid in heaven in this dazzling new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Happily Never After. As a professional cleaner, Abi Mariano never thought her apartment would have any sort of infestation, but because of a floor-wide outbreak (thanks, Apartment 2B), she now needs somewhere to stay for a week. As a part-time student with two jobs, she doesn't have many options. Then the solution presents itself: the owner of the penthouse she cleans is out of town for the week. She normally wouldn't consider it, but he's literally never around (she's never even met him). It goes great...until she comes out of the bedroom one morning to find two strangers in the kitchen. They're the parents of the penthouse owner and they seem to think they've heard all about Abi-not as their son's maid, but as his girlfriend. Declan Powell has always put his career first, working his way up to executive vice president at Hathaway Holdings, but he still has his eyes set on the next level. When his parents mention they met his girlfriend Abi, he all but chokes on his escargot. As great as it sounds that she was just darling, he doesn't actually have a girlfriend-he made her up to get everyone off his back. When Dex finds out who Abi really is, he makes her a proposition: pretend to date him, and he'll provide everything she needs during their little arrangement. What harm would it do? It's purely business, no pleasure...right?"--
