The clock’s ticking…

on their risky charade!

Louisa must convince her grandfather she’s going to wed if she’s to receive her inheritance and escape his tyranny! But the wallflower is a disaster debutante, and she’s given up hope of finding a suitor. Until her brother’s best friend, Thomas, Duke of Bonham, agrees to an engagement ruse…

Playing the part of Louisa’s fiancé is a welcome distraction from Thomas's ducal burden, and a chance to help the woman he always viewed as a sister. Except, after a stolen kiss, his feelings for her are anything but brotherly, making it harder to pull away when their game is up…

Christine Merrill wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. During a stint as a stay-at-home-mother, she decided it was time to “write that book.” She could set her own hours and would never have to wear pantyhose to work! It was a slow start but she slogged onward and seven years later, she got the thrill of seeing her first book hit the bookstores. Christine lives in Wisconsin with her family.
