In order to get his grandmother to relinquish Tyre Abbey, the childhood home that is rightfully his, Rand, Viscount Aylesford must become betrothed. He has no plans of actually marrying, he just needs a fake fiance long enough to secure the Abbey and Miss Grace Winters seems the perfect solution.
Grace is perhaps the most stubborn of all the Winter siblings and she is determined never to marry an aristocrat and certainly not the entirely too self-assured Lord Aylesford, no matter how attractive she finds him. But when he wrests a naughty book from her possession, Grace is forced to go along with the feigned betrothal to keep Rand from revealing the illicit literature to her brother. Grace soon sees the benefit of the arrangement in keeping money honey suitors at bay, but when Rand finally kisses her, Grace is appalled by her favorable reaction to his attentions. Soon the connection between Rand and Grace becomes all too real. Too bad their engagement is still fake.
I really enjoyed this latest installment of the wicked Winters. I found Grace to be rather too prickly and over the top in her missishness, but it was nice to see Rand's arrogance taken down a peg and to see him open his heart again. These two had great chemistry and made a lovely couple. I can't wait to read Pru's and Christabella's stories now.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are our own.
