With her elderly neighbor, the return of her long-awaited mail, and an escaped cat complicating the move, Penny wrestles with uncertainty about what could go wrong. As she travels toward London, new pressures—from crowded transit to uneasy flight companions—set the stage for romance and career-changing possibilities.","Only a Night with a Billionaire  \nOnly Us a sweet billionaire romance series Book 2 by  \nEllie Hall  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nChapter 1  \nPenny  \nWith a bag slung over her shoulder, Penny Jones stood just inside the door to her New York City apartment. She turned around one last time, glancedat the kitchen and sighed—she and her sister had affectionately dubbed the apartment the kitchen closet because the whole space was tiny, except the kitchen. Baking was at the center of Penny’s life and having the space for it was her only requirement. She’d miss her place in Manhattan but she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to apprentice with David Park, master baker extraordinaire.  \nShe smiled, turned the doorknob, and with suitcase in tow, stepped into the hallway. As she closed the door behind her, her stomach did a little flip.  \nShe was leaving behind her secure job, her friends, family, and life as she knew it.“What could go wrong?” she whispered under her breath.  \nIn her silent, cat-like way, Mrs. Wong, Penny’s elderly neighbor shuffled past.“Everything, dear. Everything,” she said as if in answer to Penny’s question.  \n“Huh?” Penny asked.  \nThe old woman passed her an envelope.“The mailman put another piece of your mail in my box.”  \nPenny glanced down at her full name written across the front. Penelope Victoria Jones. She stuffed it in her suitcase.“You shouldn’t get anything more for me. I was selected for an apprenticeship with David Park.”  \nUsually, when she said this, she got a polite smile in response—not too many people outside the culinary world knew of him.  \nHowever, for avid bakers, he was a household name, being the master baker for the royals in Burklingham Palace, but commoners usually didn’t make the connection.  \nShe got just such a smile from Mrs. Wong but it quickly dipped into a frown as she opened her door.“There goes Pumpkin. She escaped again. If the super would take care of the rodent problem, she wouldn’t be so tempted.”  \nA furry, orange cat streaked by at the end of the hall. Penny set her belongings down and quietly tiptoed down the hall after the cat so she didn’t startle it. She called his name and the images of pumpkin pie, pumpkin scones, pumpkin bread—all the delicious things she could bake inspired by that single ingredient—floated into her mind. What marvelous things would she make at the palace?  \nShe knew she was a bit on the older side when she’d applied for the position—most people applied for apprenticeships or to work as an assistant right out of culinary school, but she had bills to pay and had earned her way forward starting in the kitchens of some of the best bakeries and restaurants in the city because she couldn’t afford to work without compensation. But she’d scrimped and saved and eight years later had her opportunity. Better late than never.  \nPenny was the kind of person who led with her heart but knew this was her only shot at moving forward in her career. She wasn’t poor but would be living off savings for the next few months and didn’t have enough for  \nwhatever would come after the apprenticeship was over. She was giving up her apartment, her security, and banking on her future—not to mention her baking abilities. People came far and wide for her lemon bars, her lavender cheesecake, and macarons. But she was best known for her cookies: good, old fashioned chocolate chip in particular.  \nPenny scooped up the cat and then hurried to return him.“I hope you have anice day, Mrs. Wong.”  \nShe nuzzled the giant orange and white feline then said,“Good luck.”  \n“Thanks, I’ll need it.”  \nAs Penny wheeled her suitcase along the slushy and slippery New York City sidewalk, she looked forward to the gilded halls of the palace, imagining the wood floors and plush carpet. Though, she reasoned, she’d mostly be in the kitchen and pictured it classic but outfitted with modern equipment as well.  \nShe passed her favorite bookstore, the ramen place where she often grabbed lunch, and t","cbCaip82IPuB3NjK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip82IPuB3NjK","pdf",741500,218,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1: Penny\n## Apartment farewell and apprenticeship news\n## Neighbor’s envelope
