About the author
Heidi Betts
184 books375 followersUSA Today bestselling author Heidi Betts is the daughter of an Arabian sheik and a Las Vegas showgirl, as well as the heiress to the Chocolate is Better Than Sex Candy Company fortune. Because of this, she eats chocolate in all its many delicious forms for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in-between snacks . . . without ever gaining an ounce on her perfect five-foot-nine, size zero figure.
Each and every one of her breathtaking, award-winning novels has been adapted to film and gone on to become a phenomenal box office smash, featuring such mega-stars as Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts, and Harrison Ford and Charlize Theron.
Heidi readily admits that she is only able to write such passionate love stories because of her real-life happily-ever-after romance with superstar actor Dwayne Johnson, who makes every day a fairy tale. When she’s not writing or making hot, toe-curling love with her “Rock” of a husband, Heidi can often be found riding naked on horseback (a la Lady Godiva) along the beaches of Malibu or hobnobbing with the rich and famous on Martha’s Vineyard.
If you’d like to experience your own perfect, idyllic life just like Heidi Betts, be sure to take the little purple pill. (Not the red one. Never the red one.)

Interesting enough book for this type - the characters were likeable and there was some humor present. I don't remember much beyond that as it's been a few years.

Willow is an amazing, likable, and interesting, Brandt is not. Brandt is bigoted, misogynistic, sexist and a creep.

Awesome
I love the characters. Willow Hastings is my kind of woman. A Pinkerton agent who sometimes dresses as a man and knows how to wield a knife and gun? Brandt Donovan is a bit of a misogynist at first and definitely arrogant.

Almost A Lady by Heidi Betts.
I thought that the book was very well written and had an interesting plot. This book was set in the 1880’s and Willow Hastings, the main character works as an agent at the Pinkerton agency. When a fellow agent named Charlie gets killed on a Union Pacific Railroad Train car, Willow wants to know everything she can about Charlie and the case he was working on. Willow begged Robert, her boss, to put her on Charlies case, but only on one condition. She has to partner up with a Union Pacific cop because it was their train Charlie was killed on. Willow always had worked alone, could she work with this Union Pacific Cop? She refused to work with him. She begged, pleaded, and even cried so she wouldn’t have to work with this handsome, dashing, distracting bachelor, who was 6 ft of muscular, mouthwatering masculinity. How could she work with Brandt Donovan? As Willow and Brandt work together on Charlie’s case, they realize that his death had something to do with the case that Charlie was working on before he died. Willow went into Robert’s office in the middle of the night to get Charlies previous case because Robert wouldn’t give it to them. When she shared that information with Brandt, they had to solve that case in order to solve Charlie’s murder. Solving this case would be almost impossible unless they infiltrated the circle of high-class people, and the only way to do that was to pose as newlyweds who just got back from France on their honeymoon. Willow tried to weasel her way out of it, but Brandt and Robert decided it was the only way to do it. Overall, I thought the book was well written and has a very good plot line to it.
