The Books He Kept
He gave her the office above the shop, a good desk, one lamp, and every ledger except the ones that mattered.
Kate Meacher, thirty-five, is the accountant her firm sends when a client's books need taking apart. Three months at Selwood's, the old ironmonger's on Sheep Street, should be routine. Then she finds the missing years. Raymond Selwood, fifty, has spent six of them and £187,400 of his own savings hiding the fact that the name over his door is failing.
On the shop floor he gives orders the way other men give opinions, and always with the reason attached. Kate finds she likes being told. She also finds she can tell him when a reason is no good, and that he listens.
But Raymond has decided that wanting her is a failure of character. And when the town starts talking, he does to her exactly what he did to the books.
This time she will make him correct it out loud, in front of everyone.
A warm, explicit age-gap romance set in a small English market town, with a guaranteed happy ending. Perfect for fans of Sara Cate and Mariana Zapata.
