The Millionaire's Misbehaving Mistress:

Dear Reader,

Blame my very deep Southern roots, but I’m completely fascinated with etiquette. My obsession, however, extends beyond flatware and thank you notes to very "out there" information I’ll never have an actual need to use – like dinner seating protocol when both an ex-President and a member of the royal family are present. One day, when I was nose-first into an etiquette text, I found the inspiration for this book in a quote by the great Miss Manners, Judith Martin: "We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society."

That quote sparked my imagination, and the dinner scene you’ll see in chapter two (the first night Gwen moves in) played through my head in full color. The characters were so strong and interesting, I knew I had to write their story. The more I got to know Will and Gwen (and Evie, too!), the more I adored them, and writing this book was so much fun.

I hope you enjoy getting to know Will and Gwen, and that you’ll drop me a note next time you visit my website (www.booksbykimberly.com). And because there’s a little bit of Gwen in me, you know I’ll always write you back!

All the best,
Kimberly
