Lady Minerva Sharpe doesnt intend ever to marry-no respectable man would allow her to continue writing her books. So when the only man she was ever attracted to reckless & wild barrister Giles Masters proposes that she marry him to meet her grandmothers ultimatum she counters with a different proposal-a fake courtship that will upset Grans plans in a way that her brothers fake betrothal did not. But Giles has a few tricks up his sleeve-and one of them is the key to the prickly Minervas heart.
