Publisher Description
A rollicking historical adventure from New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp, originally published in 1997.
Benedict Wincross appears in Camilla Ferrand’s life as quickly as the gunfire pursuing him. Though he is obviously no gentleman, Camilla realizes Benedict may be just what she needs: a temporary fiancé to satisfy her family’s worries.
And Benedict needs something in return: an entrée into Chevington Park, Camilla’s estate, to conduct an undercover investigation into corruption—without Camilla’s knowledge. Each is drawing the other into a dangerous deceit—for even if they survive the danger of Benedict’s mission, what will they do about the love that’s grown between them?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
How many lies does it take to make a truth? A whole bunch, according to this playfully-executed Regency by the author of Impulse. To fulfill her grandfather's dying wish that she be married, confirmed spinster Camilla Ferrand, hires Lord Rawdon, aka Benedict Ellsworth, to pose as her fiance while she visits the family estate in Chevington Park. Since the guise will allow him the opportunity to investigate rumors that a French spy is lurking among the villagers, Benedict willing agrees. Upon their arrival, Camilla and Benedict are mistakenly announced as newlyweds, which leads to a comedy of errors, a shared bedroom, and plenty of sexual tension. As Benedict searches for his traitor, it become obvious that the spy is someone residing at Chevington Park. Oddball characters and misadventures are plentiful in this delightful romp, making it one of Camp's best.
