"A professional gift buyer fights to protect her reputation -- and keep things businesslike with the handsome son of her biggest client -- in this charming novel from the author of Star-Crossed and The Lost Love Song. At Wish & Co., a boutique offering a bespoke gift-buying service, Marnie has a reputation for finding the perfect gift that will melt any recipient's heart. Her talents have even caught the attention of wealthy entrepreneur Brian Charlesworth, who relies on her exclusively to buy gifts for his family, his wife -- and also his mistress. Marnie is ambitious, her ultimate goal to relocate her flourishing business to a beautiful shopfront once owned by her grandfather. But just when Marnie has the opportunity to realize her dream, she makes the worst mistake of her career -- she mixes up two gifts, intended for Brian's wife and mistress, exposing his affair. Marnie is horrified at her mistake, realizing that it could end a marriage as well as her business. As she apologizes profusely to the outraged Brian, the only thing that makes her feel any better is that his (very attractive) son, Luke, stands up for her. Even as things with Luke start to heat up, Marnie can hardly focus on anything except finding a way to restore her gift-giving reputation and kep alive the dream of buying her grandfather's old shop. But when Brian offers her the perfect opportunity to make amends for her mistake, she has a crisis of conscience -- should she really help Brian continue to lie to his wife? Luke certainly doesn't think so. But with the future of her business on the line, what else can Marnie do? She can't afford to lose her biggest client, but she certainly doesn't want to lose Luke. Will her heart or her head win out in the end?"--Publisher.
