About this ebook
Debutante Katherine Malahithe has come to London determined to resist the fortune hunters only interested in her money.
Armed with ill-fitting gowns, owlish spectacles, and a sharp tongue, she is resolved to send every mercenary gentleman packing. Her efforts to appear unattractive successfully ward off most suitors--except for Viscount Maldon, a man who wants to avoid marriage as much as Katherine. The handsome, provoking Viscount becomes an unlikely ally, but can either of them escape the altar when friendship turns to passion...and scandal?
Tarquin Fortescue-Simmonds has come to town under strict orders to court an heiress, yet parading before eligible maidens fills him with sheer terror. Ducking behind the potted palms of Almack’s to escape the marriage mart, he collides with a lady whose blunt candour is far more enticing than society flattery.

- Friends to Lovers: From trading barbs over invented Latin botany to braving Hyde Park under an absurd mushroom bonnet, two determined cynics discover that laughter is far more hazardous to their freedom than romance.
- Forced Proximity: A stolen conversation in a secluded, starlit conservatory turns from mutual commiseration to an undeniable spark that Aunt Twining and Aunt Berry cannot fail to notice.
- Slow Burn: With five younger sisters needing dowries, an ancestral priory drowning in debt, and a secret that keeps Katherine wary of suitors, their growing devotion must overcome every obstacle London throws in their path.
- Also by This Author: Lord Havelock’s List, The Major Meets His Match and Never Trust a Rake.
