Berkley. Good. 4.22 x 1.03 x 6.7 inches. Mass Market Paperback. 2005. 400 pages. <br>Once again, the incomparable Quick has whipped up a delectable Regency romance (Booklist)--about an ice-cold busine ss agreement that turns into something far more heated... The Ea rl of St. Merryn needs a woman. His intentions are purely practic al--he simply wants someone sensible and suitably lovely to pose as his betrothed for a few weeks among polite society. He has his own agenda to pursue, and a false fiancée will keep the husband- hunters at bay while he goes about his business. The simplest sol ution is to hire a paid companion. After all, the sorry women who must accept such employment are sure to be grateful for any favo r... When he encounters Miss Elenora Lodge, he believes his prob lem is solved. Her dowdy attire and pinned-up hair cannot hide he r fine figure and the fire in her golden eyes. And her unfortunat e circumstances--and secret dreams of a life onstage--make the Ea rl's offer undeniably appealing. But St. Merryn is clearly hidi ng something, and things seem oddly amiss in his gloomy Rain Stre et home. Elenora is soon to discover that his secrets are even da rker than his décor--and this lark will be a more dangerous adven ture than she'd been led to believe. And Arthur, Earl of St. Merr yn, will find that the meek and mild companion he'd envisioned ha s become both a partner in his quest to catch a killer--and an ou tspoken belle of the ball who stirs a bothersome passion in his p ractical heart... Editorial Reviews Review Praise for The Paid Companion Once again, the incomparable Quick (Jayne Ann Krentz) has whipped up a delectable Regency romance that mixes humor, sus pense, and tantalizing historical detail with the savory ingredie nts her fans have come to expect; a feisty, resourceful heroine; a hero with a decidedly dangerous edge; witty repartee; and stron gly appealing secondary characters.
