After a lifetime in rags, Emerson had no idea that riches came with so many strings.
As a foster kid in the system, Emerson Duplessis never had two nickels to rub together. He worked harder than anyone else he knew and graduated with a degree in accounting—the safest career he could imagine. But when a round of unexpected layoffs leaves him unable to pay his rent, he resorts to taking temp jobs found for him by friends.
At one odd job, serving hors d’oeuvres at a funeral, his friend points out that the dead man in the massive portrait looks exactly like Emerson. The bereaved mother of the deceased turns out to be the grandmother who tried to prevent him from ever being born. Now that her only child has passed, she makes Emerson an offer.
She’ll leave her massive estate to him, but only if he shows he can properly run it, marries a high society woman, and has an heir. At one of his grandmother’s horrible parties, Emerson meets the well-educated, pampered daughter of one of his late father’s friends, Elizabeth Moorland.
Emerson dislikes her from the start, but he also discovers that she needs money, badly. He agrees to get her the money she needs if she pretends to be his girlfriend to keep his grandmother happy. But Elizabeth Moorland has a secret, and if it comes out, it will ruin both their plans.
Can Emerson manage to satisfy the woman who never wanted him in order to secure the life he’s always wanted? Or will he discover that sometimes even gold that glitters isn’t worth the price?

A slow start for me but so glad I stuck with it because I ended up loving it.
I don’t usually read the genre Billionaire Romance because it is difficult for me to relate. But this story is both engaging and interesting. The characters are real and relatable. I love the humor as well as the loyalty to family that permeates the story. If you are familiar with B.E. Baker’s work I’m sure you’ll love this book.
Enjoyable book. Fun follow up to the first book in the series, and I will want to read them all.
Even though this book is the second one on The Scarsdale Foster series, it can be read as a standalone. This book tells the story of Emerson, the foster child from book 1. He learns that he is actually the grandson of a very rich lady who has no heirs to her fortune after her son dies, Emerson finds himself in the situation of having the opportunity to inherit millions of dollars if he submits of the whims and desires of his newfound grandmother to dictate his life.Thru some funny situations and others no so much he finds the love of his life, but is she one his grandmother will approve of?I like how the story from Book 1 continues on Book 2, a decade later, and how the story continues to grab my attention. The characters and the situations are relatable and make the book much more enjoyable to read.I can't wait to continue the journey with the following books on the series.
I loved this book. The characters are well written in this sweet clean romance, the plot holds your attention, keeps you laughing and squeezes your heart, too. I hope you enjoy it as much.
