 A
Perfect Proposal
Sophie Apperly’s frustratingly dismissive family
has never taken her seriously. Fiercely academic, they see her more
practical skills as frivolous – whilst constantly taking advantage
of her. So when her best friend Milly invites her over to New York,
she jumps at the chance. It’ll do her ungrateful family good
to do without her for a while and, as Milly keeps telling her, it’s
time she spread her wings. What’s more, she’s on a quest
– America holds the key to solving her family’s financial
woes, even if they don’t deserve her help.
From the moment Sophie hits the bright lights of
Manhattan she’s captivated. Feeling like she’s stepped
into the middle of a film set, Sophie is determined to enjoy every
minute of her big adventure. So when an evening at an art gallery
opening throws her into the path of Matilda, a spirited old lady
who invites her to Connecticut for Thanksgiving, Sophie willingly
accepts, much to the dismay of Matilda's grandson Luke. Undeniably
attractive but infuriatingly arrogant, he is very protective of
his grandmother and seems to doubt Sophie’s motives for befriending
her. No match for the formidable Matilda, he eventually admits defeat,
but first he has a proposal to make. He’ll help Sophie in
her quest to save her family from financial ruin if she returns
the favour. But just what does she have to do in return …?
