The Gold Scent Bottle

Homecoming

Max Waring, Viscount Edgeworth, left London after his fiancee broke off their engagement and married his father instead. After four years abroad in the military, he has returned, only to be waylaid by his "stepmother" and coerced into visiting his family -- a prospect that fills Max with dread.

Abigail Monroe's brother foolishly lost a wager to Lord Edgeworth. So he offers Abigail's heart-shaped gold scent bottle -- a gift from their late mother -- to his opponent without her permission. To get her property back, she will have to pose as Max's bride-to-be while staying at his family's estate. But pretending to be in love awakens passions more intense than Max and Abigail could ever have imagined...
