His intentions are purely practical - 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 fiance will keep the husband-hunters at bay while he goes about his business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:40px;\" class=\"\"\u003eThe simplest solution is to hire a paid companion. Finding the right candidate proves more of a challenge than he expected. But when he encounters Miss Elenora Lodge, her feisty manner and golden eyes sway him to make a generous offer. Elenora's sorry financial circumstances - and dreams of a life of independence - leave her little choice but to accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:40px;\" class=\"\"\u003eBut St. Merryn appears to be hiding a secret or two, and things seem oddly amiss in his gloomy London home. Elenora soon discovers that this lark will be a far more dangerous adventure than she'd been led to believe. And the Earl of St. Merryn will find that the meek and mild companion he'd initially envisioned has become a partner in his quest to catch a killer - and an outspoken belle of the ball who stirs a bothersome passion in his practical heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53586947539316,"sku":"SQ6443010","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/1045\/5924\/files\/paid_companion_281_29.webp?v=1761658276","url":"https:\/\/p0aw04-6u.myshopify.com\/products\/the-paid-companion-by-amanda-quick","provider":"ObCollectors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
