Taking his ugly-duckling-turned-swan housekeeper out to dinner, he finds himself becoming increasingly attracted to her as they spend more time together. Not only is this new Ella (having put aside her dowdy housekeeper's uniform) gorgeous, she's considerate and honest. She's perfect wife material. What will Tristan do, now that he's found the perfect woman right under his nose?' ((Publication summary)

And soon he began to doubt her true motives for the match-for love, for money...or forever?
