Publisher Description
An irreverent gentleman, an abandoned wife, and a secret marriage. But is anything really what it seems?
Fun-loving Percy, the Captain Lord Granston, is everyone’s favorite cad, but his easy charm hides his fear that he’s losing his grip on reality. Then his wife arrives in London. The only problem is, he doesn’t remember marrying her.
Twice-widowed Finola Tenney Simmons has lost her hard-earned fortune and needs a pretend husband to help her reclaim it. She turns to her old acquaintance Captain Granston to play the part. There’s just one complication. The captain inexplicably believes they’re truly married.
The new Lady Granston's plan will work like a charm, if only she can keep from falling in love with the man she never actually married.

Customer Reviews
well written
Lies, deception, treachery, heartache and madness run rampant through this story in a most intriguing way. It is so well written and easily imaginable, that the reader slips seamlessly into Finola and Percy’s world. It is an easy read, but not a short one, so carve out some time and enjoy!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
If the author can’t be bothered, why should you be?
Did the forged marriage contract cost her a sapphire necklace, as stated in chapter 5, or emerald earrings, as stated in chapter 11? Also, the use of “grifting,” a 20th century word, is incongruous in a 19th century setting. In addition to continuity & editing errors, the plot is contrived & lacks originality, which is too bad as the male protagonist had promise.
Loved it!
Great characters. A wonderful addition to the series.
Both have secrets they are hiding, but both find their burdens are more easily carried when the two share them.
Their partnership grew steadily, making the romance believable.
It was great to see the friends all rally around their newest member with no thought to station or past. "You're one of us now."
