Emma Greyson is not the world`s best lady`s companion. Smart, sassy, and beautiful, she is more likely to steal the show than stand demurely in the shadows waiting for her turn to speak or serve. So when the successful--and intuitive--businessman Edison Stokes discovers that someone at a high society gathering is looking for a woman on whom to test some spells in an ancient book of potions, he immediately thinks of Emma. Determined to save her from the clutches of this possibly murderous villain, Edison hires Emma as his assistant so that he may keep her by his side--and his heart.
