Prince of Delights by Renee Roszel
Angela Meadows is trying to get her new business off the ground and the work she'll be doing for Delila Seaton will definitely help. So why now of all times does her mother have to have one of her 'dreams'? Minny Meadows sees herself as a bit of a fortune teller with the dreams and visions she has. Worse yet is her mother has chosen to spread her dream around and announce that wealthy playboy Tarrant Seaton the Prince of Delights (and not pertaining to the candy delights they create) will be marrying her, Angela Meadows of the very poor side of town.
Tarrant Seaton is used to women throwing themselves at him. What a woman won't do to get hold of his money. This money grabbing, gold digger and her mother have taken it a step further and involved his mother. Somehow this woman snagged his mother into hiring her to redo the storage areas not only at Delila Delights but also their home. Is there nowhere safe for him to go and not run into this woman?
Angela is the reasonable one in her family as her mother almost seems simple minded and will not take no for an answer. Or stop embarrassing her daughter with her marriage talk. From the female workers at Delila Delights to the house maids at Seaton's mansion she faces disdain as they consider her a gold digger. The push and pull carries on through most of the book as Angela will not throw her mom to the wolves by blaming her for this marriage announcement and Tarrant refuses to accept that she isn't in this marriage plan to trap him. I really enjoyed the story, although Minny is one of the characters that you want to put a gag on...which only shows that the author wrote her well as she brings out the readers emotions at wanting to hush the woman up.
