Publisher Description
Charlotte Burton's life in Charleston, South Carolina, has been torn apart by war and her father's mounting debts. Desperate for help, she crosses the ocean, braving the British blockade and the city of London to beg her dearest family friend, Cade Pettigru, to help her. But her meeting with Cade doesn't go as planned. After an exchange of pistol fire with two British agents, her most trusted friend leaves Charlotte alone to face the whims of the enemy.
Freddie, Lord Dewhurst, has been tracking the spy Cade Pettigru for months. But this time, when Pettigru escapes, he leaves behind a copper-haired, fiery American beauty whom Freddie hopes to use to lure the man into the open. He gives Charlotte no choice but to play his bride in public, though privately he knows he should be mortified to be paired with such an unfashionable colonist. And yet, he can't resist her independent spirit and sense of loyalty (misguided as it might be).
As Freddie and Charlotte struggle to convince others their sham marriage is real, the attraction between them ignites. Behind closed doors, they throw etiquette to the wind and give in to temptation, but once the truth is out, will love be enough for these enemies to call a truce?

5 Stars!!
5 Stars! This was such a great read! This book was previously released and is now updated and being re-released. I loved the main characters, Charlotte & Freddie/Lord Dewhurst. She’s a Southern Belle from Charleston, South Carolina. He’s a Lord from England who follows all of society’s rules. He was a bit of a prig & came off as a jerk in the beginning but I started to like him towards the end. Charlotte came to England for help from a family friend who was being watched because he was spying for the French. I love how it all played out. Definitely worth reading! The ending was my favorite part & had me smiling as I pictured it. This is a memorable book that I truly enjoyed reading and highly recommend!
