“You could take me to the dance.”
Jed frowned ferociously, as if her words were a surprise. “I don’t mix business and pleasure.”
Beth wanted to ask him which he considered her to be, but she didn’t. She wouldn’t like the answer. “Since we both know you’d only be doing it to protect my reputation, I don’t think it would hurt.” No need to mention she’d faced these kinds of situations before without a date.
He rubbed the back of his neck, then looked at her again. “I suppose I could, as long as you understand there’s nothing personal.”
There was something personal, all right, Beth thought. Jed just didn’t know it. Yet.
An unexpected inheritance changed their lives…
but would love be their ultimate reward?

Jedadiah Davis stood in the shadows of the living room, staring at the beautiful young woman who’d finally returned, after he’d waited for more than an hour.
He should have been prepared for her beauty. After all, her sisters, Abby and Melissa, were both lookers. But something about Elizabeth Kennedy grabbed at him more than both of her sisters put together. Bad sign.
Besides, he wasn’t sure he was interested in a rich lady for a client. He’d agreed to meet with her, but he hadn’t made any promises. Word had gotten out that these ladies were wealthy. He’d
