A Pygmalion-style charade to set up a marriage of convenience stirs up trouble, in this fun, fresh historical romance debut.

Novelist Claire Hastings loves her unconventional, independent lifestyle, but in order to retain her family estate in Edwardian England, she must marry within the month. The unexpected solution? Enter William Knightley, a male escort who works at her best friend’s bordello.

Will’s more than willing to pretend to be a titled gentleman and receive an income in exchange for a marriage of convenience with Claire. As the clever couple tries to convince the discerning society that Will is a baron and this is a true love match, however, the ruse begins to feel all too real.

But as their wedding day approaches and deeper feelings develop, several unexpected figures from Will’s past reappear, throwing everything into question. When the dust settles, will obligation or love lead them to the altar?
