Appearances are deceiving. Can a fake engagement to a brilliant, infuriatingly handsome Viscount with a past reveal my ex-fiancé’s betrayal?
I was supposed to marry the perfect gentleman—charming, respected, and entirely false.
Weeks before our wedding, I learned the truth: Edmund Sterling, the Viscount of Greyston, wanted my dowry, not my heart. He planned to keep his mistress, and I was to smile and endure it for the rest of my life.
No, thank you.
To ruin him before he could ruin me, I needed a partner who could help uncover Edmund’s devious nature. Enter Nathaniel Langford, the Viscount of Ashvale. He was not the sort of man my parents had in mind for me. We agreed to a public charade: stolen glances, whispered rumors, a fake engagement.
But somewhere between our staged kisses and shared secrets, everything began to feel… real.
Could this clever game of revenge become the start of the one thing I had given up on?
For love is all that matters…if our love is true.
Her memory is flawless. His past is not.
Edgar Lowell has rebuilt his life in Lilac City, trading scandal for service as a respected attorney. With a possible judgeship looming, he has every reason to stay focused. Until a quiet, steady young widow with an extraordinary memory unsettles everything he thought he wanted.
Laura Stanton has made a life of staying small. She keeps her head down, raising her children and working hard at the Lucky L Ranch. But when the town prosecutor notices her mind and not just her manners, she dares to hope that perhaps she’s not destined to be invisible forever.
Even as romance blooms, something darker stirs beneath the town’s quiet charm. As Edgar uncovers shadows from the past, he finds himself caught between his ambition and love.
