A Temporary Woman

Staff Assistant of Chicago Midtown Shelter, Giselle Warner, didn't have an ideal childhood, but she worked hard, she beat the odds, and she is next in line to get a promotion. Thanks to Columbus, she's on the right track to open a shelter of her own. That is until the morning she finds out that Gina, her impressionable sister, may be adopted by the wealthy couple who raised her. In a panic, and in order to halt the couple's efforts, Giselle calls the Queen of the South, Alberta Warner, and works for her as an escort. While doing so, Giselle gets caught up in a downward spiral of deception, risking her steamy relationship with Columbus Dunbar, and the self-respect she cherishes.

Firing Giselle was a difficult decision to make, but Giselle has problems she won't reveal. What was Columbus supposed to do? He's a Dunbar, and he will do anything to protect his family and maintain the reputation of the family name. It is expected. What he doesn't expect, is his attraction to Giselle to turn into a steamy relationship that he craves. Her persona is an enigma at best, but it doesn't deter him, He only craves her more... until he discovers her secret identity, Missy. Will Columbus protect the reputation of his family or will he throw his pride to the wind and give into his desires for Giselle?
