DISCLAIMER: Sample ONLY. The book will be available for purchase on AMAZON from January 22nd. Camilla has lived and worked all her life in the manor with her mother, the housekeeper. After her death, her boss, the Duchess Hawthorne, became the closest she has ever had to family-until she passed away, too, leaving nothing but uncertainty in her future. The manor is inherited by the duchess' nephew, the only blood-related member eligible to take over the entire estate. To Vincent Hawthorne, this is nothing but some extra wealth and the perfect reason to move out from under his mother's controlling personality. To Camilla, the change means fear. The inherent fear that these newcomers will get rid of her and deprive her of the only thing she has ever known as home. But when the hot, sexy bachelor duke claims his inheritance, none of them was expecting the late noblewoman to ensure Camilla's place in the manor...and in the duke's life. Tension and attraction nest within them, bringing the new boss and his employee impossibly closer and creating love where it shouldn't.
