The False Fiancee — Emma Lange

A talented beauty plays her part too well when she feigns love for a devilishly handsome duke

COMMAND PERFORMANCE

What the Duke of Clarendon demanded was insufferable, unthinkable, impossible: Miss Catherine Spenser should go to London with him and pretend to be his fiancee.

True, the duke did think Catherine to be an actress named Nancy Wright, and everyone knew that actresses would do anything for the sum of money he offered.

And true, Catherine was down to her last farthing and desperate not to return to her guardian, the odious Baron Rudolph Spenser, who was eager to auction her off to the vulgarly wealthy Mr. Hugo Overstreet.

But how could Catherine possibly trust this notorious womanizing duke to keep to his end of the bargain of love in public only? And even more troubling, how could she trust herself...?

Hero: Adam Edward Charles Vincent Beaufort Cameron, Duke of Clarendon
