About this listen
Susan accepts a fake betrothal to the handsome Earl of Malmesbury while escaping a forced marriage.
Susan thought evil step-mothers were only in fairy tales, but she was wrong… she would rather earn her living scrubbing floors than marry the despot her stepmother has chosen.
Intrigued, James persuades Susan to become his pretend betrothed to throw off her evil pursuer for reasons of his own.
Can James persuade his reluctant bride to say yes, forever?

Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone but will be a richer experience read in order. Always a clean, sweet happy ending, without losing the heat of romance!
A sweet, slow-burn romance, with a happily-ever-after ending. Karen Lynne brilliantly executes the “fake engagement” trope in a Regency romance setting-- no easy task! Mandyharpist, Kindle Customer
