An aspiring dressmaker, orphaned Starling Smith is accustomed to fighting for her own survival. But when she’s offered a year’s wages to temporarily pose as a wealthy man’s bride, she suspects ulterior motives. She can’t lose the chance to open her own shop, but she won’t be any man’s lover, not even handsome, infuriating Alisdair Seymour’s...

Very entertaining. I enjoyed the way the characters had depth and it wasn't easy to predict what would happen next. It kept my interest from beginning to end.

Great characters, enjoyed the storyline. Glad to see one strong-hearted female lead not succumb so easily as other romance novels. Gives the man a run for his money!

An excellent, well written story that kept me reading on when I should have been sleeping. I very much enjoyed it.
