When Lady Gabriella Banning receives word that her half brother, the
Earl of Wickham, has died on his tea plantation, she faces the reality
that she and her younger sisters are suddenly penniless -- unless she
thinks fast. Arranging Claire's London season, Gabby pretends that
Marcus is still alive, just until Claire can marry a fabulously wealthy
nobleman. But when a handsome gentleman arrives claiming to be Marcus,
Gabby's plan backfires. If she exposes this mysterious stranger's
deceit, she exposes her own. Bound by secrets and lies, Gabby and the
roguish adventurer strike sparks -- and soon London society is abuzz
over the scandalous "siblings" who appear to be falling in love. . . .
