Ruby’s Last Chance
Junior journalist Ruby Lowe, recently dumped by her boyfriend and left with a shed load of debt, has no choice when her boss gives her the assignment from hell – attend a writers’ retreat where world-famous crime writer Edward De’Ath is lecturing and covertly obtain his DNA so they can prove a paternity case – comply or it’s the end of a promising career.
She’s not at all confident she can deliver.
Edward De’Ath has agreed to lecture at the writers’ retreat as a favour to an old college friend. Light of heart, and determined to enjoy his last few days in the UK before heading back to his home in New York, he and Ruby literally bump into each other in the car park and it is not a pleasant exchange.
Both simmer with rage as they check in, neither of them realising their bad start to the week is only about to get worse . . .
My Review:

5 out of 5 stars
A fun read

I love romance books that are a pure joy to read such as this one. The writing retreat sounded rather interesting. The “job” Ruby was given was thwarted every way possible and the ending was perfect.
