Publisher Description
Bonded by books and united by a purpose, The Mayfair Literary League has taken on a new mission—For Better or Worse. The bachelors of London won’t know what hit them when these bookish ladies set their sights on the men in their lives who don’t see them for who they truly are—yet.
Can she reclaim her childhood best friend AND convince him to love her?
Lady Tabitha Malton spends her days caring for her mother who feigns illness to keep Tibby at her side. Tibby can’t bring herself to protest until The Mayfair Literary League proposes a new agenda—perform a bold act to catch the notice of their secret crush.
Michael Shaw isn’t the same man who left England’s shores a decade ago to serve in the military, but his well-meaning mother doesn’t seem to understand. Her insistence that he take a wife is driving him mad. How can he consider marriage when he feels broken and battered inside?
A pretend betrothal might be the perfect solution for them both.
Tibby isn’t the same person either. She’s grown into a beautiful woman whose intelligence and grace intrigues him at every turn. A “pretend” kiss upends his world until he’s no longer certain what he wants with one exception—her.
Tibby knows she’s in over her head and has already lost her heart to the handsome captain. Will her bold move lead to love or heartache?

A Pretend Betrothal
Another superb book by Lana Williams. Great characters, Tibby’s mother is just like someone that I know, Lana has the balance exactly right. I can’t wait to read the next in the series, don’t miss this book!
Childhood Friends
Michael Shaw has returned home and neighbour and childhood friend Lady Tibby wants him to see her in a new light, but how to do so? After five failed seasons she knows that men don’t see her and her mother uses feigned illness and guilt to restrict her social life still further. Once Michael has recovered from his war experiences and found a purpose in civilian life, he will start attending events, the eligible ladies will swarm on him like bees on clover and he’d never see Tibby. And so she asks for help. A pretend betrothal will benefit him by getting his mother off his back, her by hopefully shocking her mother into Society again and, she hopes, but this of course is secret, give Michael the opportunity to be in her company and fall in love with her. From the very first things do not go to plan…
