A Courtship for Clover — Marion Ueckermann

Top London chef Clover Blume has one chance to become better acquainted with Jonathan Spalding away from the mayhem of her busy restaurant where he frequently dines -- usually with a gorgeous woman at his side. When the groomsman who is supposed to escort her at her sister's New Year's Eve wedding is delayed because of business, Clover begins to wonder whether she really wants to waste time with a player whose main focus in life is making money rather than keeping promises. Jonathan lives the good life. There's one thing, however, the London Investment Banker's money hasn't managed to buy: a woman to love -- one worthy of his mother's approval. Is it possible though, that the auburn-haired beauty who is to partner with him at his best friend's wedding -- a wedding he stands to miss thanks to a glitch in a deal worth millions -- is finding a way into his heart? But what will it cost Jonathan to realize it profits him nothing to gain the world, yet lose his soul? And the girl.
