Scarsdale Fosters

When life has taught you to hide, can you ever spread your wings and take flight? Writing songs has always been the way that Beatrice Cipriani processes the world around her, but as a painful introvert, none of those songs are ever performed. She excels at being invisible, she's the best server in a fancy restaurant. Sometimes, though, it feels like she's dying a little more with every passing day. Easton Moorland has finally made it big, but with a public company comes a board that has demands. As the chairman of a luxury brand, all eyes are on him, and they want him to look the part. That means he needs a girlfriend, or better yet, a wife. Only, Easton's never had time to date, much less to develop any kind of relationship. When the board insists that Easton sign up with an exclusive dating agency, he takes his first match to the nicest place in town. Only, he can't remember his date's name-he's too enthralled by their server. It's a woman he'd met before, it's his sister Elizabeth's new sister-in-law, in fact. But can a dating newbie like Easton coax a painful introvert into the limelight at his side? Or will old fears destroy their chance at a happily ever after before it can even begin?
