Publisher Description
In the heart of London's dazzling society, Rosanna Hempel seems to have it all—a doting father, a promising future as the heiress to the family business, and the adoration of a charming suitor. Her life is a flawless portrait of privilege and potential—until a single fateful moment in the park shatters her world. The lord who vowed her everything abandons her, leaving her only hope in the hands of the infuriating man next door, the bland, boring bank clerk, Phineas Babbage.
Phineas, weary of his mundane life on Honeysuckle Street, dreams of escape and new beginnings. Yet, when he stumbles upon a distraught Rosanna Hempel, he finds himself ensnared in a web of passion, peril and wallpaper choices. His quest to unravel the mystery of his lost love intertwines with his unexpected enchantment with Rosanna, and as their sham marriage deepens, he must confront his own desires and fears.
Will they find common ground? Can they set aside their differences and solve the mystery, annul their sham marriage and return to their individual lives?
Because that's what they both want.

Customer Reviews
Phineas and Rosanna
Phineas Babbage had not meant to stay on Honeysuckle Street very long. That was seven years ago and, somehow, he is still here and involved in the lives of his neighbors. He’s ready to move on. He just needs to solve a case of business fraud and leave. Things become complicated when he steps in to rescue Rosanna Hampel, one of his neighbors, from a thug and her fortune-hunting suitor in the park. The holier-than-thou neighbor see them just after the incident, and insists Rosanna is compromised. They agree to marry, temporarily, separate, and never see each other again. How’s that going to work? This story has an interesting plot. There is a mystery (the fraud), secrets from the past, a most entertaining family dynamic, and a romance that tries as hard to fail as to succeed. There are some plot twists and surprises. It takes place on Honeysuckle Street, so there is a variety of engaging characters. An enjoyable story with a happy ending. I received a special copy of this book via BookSirens and voluntarily reviewed it.
