About This Book
Constance Whitmore can:Tame a stallion with Irish dittiesGet herself banished with one wordTurn a fake engagement into a proposalHer superpower? She can ruin a rake. When Lady Constance Whitmore decides to tell the whole truth, one should lend a keen ear. At least, that's what she thinks until the day she utters a scandalous word that gets her banished to the country in the middle of her fourth season. But Foxwood feels more like a holiday than a punishment when she encounters a roguishly handsome, devilishly charming head groomsman. After soliciting the handsome rogue for a lesson or two in the art of canoodling, she unwittingly transforms the encounter into a fictitious engagement, the perfect opportunity to put theory into practice. Derek Montgomery, the future heir to a dukedom but rumored to be a bastard, would never marry a proper woman of the ton, not even one as stunning as Constance Whitmore. He spends half the year at Foxwood, his grandfather's country estate, overseeing his finances and training spirited horses. He does NOT do it to meet spoiled, insipid women of the ton who insist he apologize for failing to address them properly. He should have dismissed Lady Constance outright. But her worshipping perusal of his body kept him from doing the right thing. Now, he's snared in a contrived engagement with no way out. Then again, perhaps the way out is through. Some of the best lessons in life come from those you least expect. Will their fabricated engagement lead to a true love neither expected, or will the charade unravel, leaving them both in tatters? Prepare for a tale of passion, mischief, and unexpected romance, where the heart's desires cannot be confined by societal norms.
