The reigning belle of the London Season, Miranda Blake is the epitome of grace and beauty. But the one thing this wealthy Earl’s daughter is lacking is the very thing she’s never considered to be a priority: finding a husband.
When she overhears a jealous matron refer to her as being “on the shelf”, she fears she’s postponed marriage for far too long.

Brash American Derek Lang has arrived in England, determined to complete two tasks on his growing list of priorities: purchase inventory for his family’s business and clear his grandfather’s name. What he hadn’t anticipated is abandoning his crusade to help a damsel in distress with a charade intended to make Beau jealous.

Will their scheme work, or will it lead to something far too real?
