Amanda Delmar has no problem spending money, especially when it isn't hers. What's $500 for shoes if Daddy's always there to pay for it? On a lark, Amanda decides to spend her summer away from the nightlife of Chicago and rents a haunted house in Cuttersville, Ohio. One thousand dollars for rent is a steal, especially when she doesn't have to foot the bill. Everything is going fine (although there are no good places to shop in the middle of nowhere) until Daddy has had enough of his daughter's ridiculous spending habits and decides to cut off all her accounts to teach her a lesson. No one in the family is to loan Amanda money or even help her get a job. What's a pouty, spoiled rotten brat supposed to do?

Life has had its ups and downs for farmer Danny Tucker. At the ripe old age of 26, he's already been married (because of a pregnancy) and divorced (because of a miscarriage that neither parent ever got over). All he ever wanted was a wife and children to call his own. Living on the farm has gotten pretty lonely and the only person in town who's remotely piqued his interest is Amanda -- not that she'd ever give him the time of day.

Things are about to change drastically when Danny's prayers are answered in the form of an eight-year-old daughter he never knew he had conceived during a high-school fling. Piper Schwartz is dumped on Danny's doorstep by her stepfather, who no longer wants her since Piper's mother died. Underfed and caked in dirt, Piper has been emotionally abused to the point where all of her hair has fallen out. Danny rises to the challenge and takes his daughter in without question, determined to give her the love she so desperately needs. However, Danny knows nothing about raising little girls and enlists Amanda's help in buying the things she needs. If there's one thing Amanda is good at, it's shopping!

As Piper warms up to Amanda, Danny realizes that it's a win- win-win situation; he can hire Amanda as a babysitter so that she finally has a job, and Piper doesn't have to go to daycare with strangers, while Danny can finish this year's harvest on the farm. That, and he can ogle Amanda's long, bronzed legs... Could this heiress ever find a country bumpkin attractive and maybe, just maybe, fall in love with him, too?

Although at first, Amanda seems to be a mirror image of Paris Hilton on The Simple Life, she manages to recognize that she's spoiled and has no job skills once she's been dumped into the real world. Instead of sitting around and whining about it, Amanda takes the challenge to prove to herself and her father that she isn't the pretty princess everyone seems to think she is. HEIRESS FOR HIRE is charged with a sexual energy so intense that it sparks right off the page making for an enjoyable reading experience.
