A fake relationship romance pairing a celebrated etiquette expert with a wealthy heir who needs the right woman beside him to secure the family empire. Warm, witty contemporary romance of a paid arrangement, forced proximity, a hidden past and feelings that outgrow the deal.
A Million-Dollar Offer. A Perfectly Improper Arrangement.
Julie Porter built a career teaching perfect manners and impeccable behavior. Her best-selling etiquette guide made her a household name, and she's worked hard to build a life that looks flawless from the outside.
James Curran needs the right woman by his side to convince his father he’s ready to inherit the family media empire. Julie is intelligent, poised, and exactly what the board expects to see. When he offers her a million dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend, she refuses.
Until circumstances leave her with no choice.
What begins as a business arrangement soon becomes impossible to keep professional. The closer they grow, the harder it becomes to keep Julie’s past where she left it.
When her carefully controlled life starts to unravel, James faces a choice of his own: the future he's fought to secure, or the woman who has completely rewritten his rules.
Perfectly Polite is a standalone contemporary romance, for readers who love fake relationships, billionaire heroes, forced proximity and banter with real emotional weight. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Christina Lauren and Helen Hoang.
