Promoted to Wife?
Always the dutiful daughter, Fanny Mitchell surprised everyone when she broke her engagement. Now she’s working at the fancy Hotel Dupree—and falling for the mysterious, handsome owner, Jonathon Hawkins. But when she and her boss are caught in an unexpected kiss at a ball, will her reputation be tarnished forever?
The son of a woman of ill repute, Jonathon knows that gossip can destroy lives in an instant. And he won’t allow sweet, lovely Fanny to suffer the consequences. When he proposes a marriage of convenience, Jonathon believes he can keep his heart to himself. But the more time he spends with Fanny, the more he realizes he may just be in love—with his wife...
Charity House: Offering an oasis of hope, faith and love on the rugged Colorado frontier
“I am completely at fault,” Fanny choked between inhales.
“Not completely, no.” Jonathon’s deep voice poured warmth over her cold heart. “We share the blame and will face the consequences together, no matter how dire or life-altering.”
He did not mention marriage, but he was thinking it. The evidence was there, in the grim twist of his lips and the stern set of his shoulders.
She’d dragged this man into a place he’d vowed never to go.
“Come.” He tugged her toward the ballroom, toward their moment of reckoning. “Time to face the good people of Denver.”
He guided her to the very edge of the French doors. A few more steps and they would cross over the threshold, into a future neither of them truly wanted. Jonathon for his reasons.
Fanny for hers.
She shot a glance at Jonathon from beneath her lashes. Even in the dense, flickering shadows, she recognized the resolve in his eyes, the willingness to do whatever was necessary to protect her from another scandal.
She could not let him compromise his future for hers.
