Nina Milne - Whisked Away By Her Millionaire Boss

Swept into his glamorous world...

Will she fall for the tycoon?

After an unexpected encounter with Ben Gardiner, dashing owner of the fashion company whose offices she cleans, single mom Sarah Fletcher takes a gamble in sharing her ideas... Amazingly, Ben loves them! When she’s whisked away to work with him in Milan, their attraction is increasingly undeniable. This high-class world’s like nothing Sarah’s known—but back home, will Ben let Sarah and her daughter into his life?

NINA MILNEhas always dreamed of writing for Mills & Boon—ever since she played libraries with her mother’s stacks of Mills & Boon romances as a child. On her way to this dream Nina acquired an English degree, a hero of her own, three gorgeous children and—somehow!—an accountancy qualification. She lives in Brighton and has filled her house with stacks of books—her very own real library.

About the Publisher

BEN GARDINER, CEO and founder of Sahara Clothes, a global fashion house with retail outlets worldwide, stared across at his PA in horror. ‘You want to take some time off next month?’ he echoed. ‘During Milan Fashion Week?’

‘Yes.’ Maree looked him directly in the eye. ‘I know it’s short notice but Edward wants to take me away on a romantic break.’

Ben opened his mouth and closed it again. ‘And it didn’t occur to Edward that you have a job?’

‘Of course it did. But he won it—on a radio show. A two-week safari trip—it’s the opportunity of a lifetime.’ Maree took a deep breath. ‘Actually, it’s a bit more than that.’

‘Oh?’ Ben studied his PA. He could tell from her expression that she was working up to breaking bad news.

‘We’re getting married. The safari will be our honeymoon.’ Once the words had spilled out, Maree smiled radiantly. ‘And I know marriage is your idea of personal hell, but I am really, really happy and I want you to be happy for me.’

‘I am happy for you.’ And he was. Though a tiny bit of him was considering the impact on his work schedule. There was also the fact that... ‘Isn’t it a bit sudden? I mean, you haven’t known Edward very long.’

‘I know, but I’m sure this is what I want.’

Maree’s whole face lit up, and obscurely Ben felt a sudden pang of near envy.

‘I can’t explain it, and of course I know there are no guarantees, but right here and now I am one hundred per cent sure that I want to spend my life with him and I know he feels the same.’

Any remaining tinge of green vanished as Ben manfully repressed a shudder and managed, ‘Then I wish you every happiness.’

Which of course he did. He fully grasped that for some people it was possible to risk one’s heart for love. It was just that personally he couldn’t see the point.

Seeing Maree’s sceptical look, he raised his hands. ‘I am. Why wouldn’t I be?’

‘Because you know what I’m going to say next. My role will need to change a bit. Edward does understand how important my job is to me, and he realises that it is very hands-on, but I won’t be able to work such insane hours any more.’

Ben knew he expected his PA to do way more than convention demanded—to go the extra mile. That was why he made sure he paid an excellent salary and chose the right person for the role.

‘I thought you enjoyed this job.’

‘I love it—and I’ve had a blast. But my circumstances have changed. I won’t be able to travel at the drop of a hat, even if it is to a yacht party in Monaco, and I can’t be on duty twenty-four-seven. Like the time last month when you called me at three in the morning to come to a business meeting.’
