by Paullett Golden

When intentions clash and assumptions unravel, love intervenes.
​
Phoebe Whittington is in exile in Shropshire after a scandal ostracizes her from polite society. She has a plan to remedy her current plight: marry the Earl of Collumby. Full scheme ahead, she will stop at nothing to net him, not even should an irresistible solicitor get in her way.
​
Graeme Lockwood has inherited a legal quandary, one that demands absolute discretion until details are settled. All proceeds with satisfying secrecy until a young lady arrives, declaring herself betrothed to the Earl of Collumby. The solution to this hitch is simple. Graeme pretends to be the solicitor.
​
This is the love story of Phoebe and Graeme as they plot against each other until love interferes.
