A phony engagement turns into real passion in this delightful Regency
romance from award-winning author Anne Gracie.
Fate has lavished beauty on the Merridew sisters--that is, all save the
eldest. But plain Prudence bears no grudge; she loves her four beautiful
sisters infinitely. So when their abusive grandfather is laid up with an
injury, she seizes the opportunity to concoct an ingenious plan that
will allow all five of them to escape the clutches of their legal
guardian. All it will take is a little matrimonial deception...
A renowned rake, Gideon, Lord Carradice, has a way of making ladies
swoon. But when Prudence arrives at his doorstep and mistakes him for
his cousin, the Duke, it is Gideon who's infatuated. The delightful
spitfire claims she and the Duke are engaged--although a taller tale was
never told. In spite of the lies, Gideon is so taken with charming
Prudence that he's eager to join her game, especially if it will award
him a stolen kiss or two. Now, Prudence's plot is about to go terribly,
albeit deliciously, awry...
