Publisher Description

An engagement of convenience, enemies to lovers romance set in the Victorian era

Suddenly engaged  

To a man she’d never marry! 

Miss Margaret is dreading her fourth season and her mother’s relentless matchmaking. Until none other than rakish Jacob Ashford, the duke she loves to hate, shocks her with a plan that could benefit them both…

With scandal on the horizon, Jacob needs a veneer of respectability, which a fake engagement guarantees! And who better to be his fiancée than the wallflower who can’t stand him and will never want to wed him for real? Yet he’s captivated by Margaret’s wit and honesty, and when they’re caught in an unexpectedly passionate kiss, their bluff is about to be called!

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.
