Lover’s Touch by Juri Nakao, ( Illustrator), Penny Jordan is a 2017 Harlequin/ SB Creative publication.

Eleanor de Tressail gets saddled with an enormous estate tax after her father and grandfather pass away. While she is trying to figure out a way to keep the estate in the family and pay the taxes, her shallow step-sister is pressuring her to sell the property and split the proceeds.

However, the trustee of their finances, Joss, shows up and offers Eleanor a most unusual solution to her dilemma- a marriage of convenience!

Joss and Eleanor have a complicated past. Eleanor loves Joss, but is positive he could never return her feelings.

This short story is based on the Harlequin novel published by the late Penny Jordon back in 1989. The story, in this format, feels slightly rushed, but I thought the Manga version did the original story justice and as always, the illustrations are top notch.

I love the theme in this book, as the good looking, wealthy man appreciates Eleanor for who she is, loving her, whether she has her glam on, or if is she’s dressed down, seeing her inner beauty and depth, which is always a nice concept and a lovely message.

Penny was a big favorite of mine way back in the day, so it is so lovely to see some of her books enjoyed once again in such an imaginative and visual format.
