I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.Kate Ripley is a young woman trying to care for her terminally ill mother and four half-siblings when she is the victim of redundancy, she loses her job.  Her friend tells her about a high class escort service.  With no choice, she accepts the position of secretary/mistress to billionaire Clayton Reid.  Clayton is used to always getting what he wants.  No one ever tells him no.  Until Kate walks into his life.  Upon first meeting, Kate realizes she can't go through with it.  She can't sell herself.  However, Clayton has different ideas and bullies her into being his mistress only.  What happens then is a whirlwind ride of misunderstandings and miscommunication.I really enjoyed this story.  I loved the interactions between the characters.  I was very frustrated by the lack of communication between Clayton and Kate.  They never talked about their backgrounds.  I think so much of their angst could have been avoided if they just talked to each other.  I loved Kate's friend Bridget and her take no prisoners attitude toward Libby, Kate's very difficult teenage sister.  I also loved Lorenzo, Kate's neighbor.  He was such a sweetie, wanting to cheer Kate up after her encounters with Clayton.  This book was very well written and easy to read.  I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an uplifting, HEA story.  I would love to read Lorenzo and Libby's story in the future.
