In the glittering world of high-end companionship, Margaux Reilly is the exception. A Columbia PhD candidate in art history, she’s built a quiet career saying yes to the right jobs — and no to everything else.

When a last-minute offer arrives — $40,000 for one weekend as a plus-one at a billionaire’s sister’s wedding in the Hamptons — Margaux says yes. The client is Dashiell Voss: reclusive CEO, engaged to a world-ranked tennis star, and the kind of man who reads academic journals for fun. He chose her specifically because he read her article on a sixteenth-century sculptor three years earlier.

What begins as a professional arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them planned: real conversation. Real attention. Real respect.

But Dashiell is engaged. And Margaux has four non-negotiable rules.

Over the next six months, they build something rare — monthly dinners protected by ironclad contracts, radical honesty, and the slow, careful construction of a connection that could destroy everything… or finally give them both what they’ve been missing.

A story about consent, contracts, and the radical act of choosing integrity over desire. For readers who want intellectual tension, emotionally intelligent women, and a love story that honors boundaries instead of breaking them.

Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Normal People, and The Idea of You — but with zero spice and maximum respect.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
