Romance Historical

Having no wish to marry, Marquis of Rutledge refuses to bow to his overbearing mother's demands and to avoid being forced to the altar; he fabricates a betrothed with the most ridiculous last name he could come up with. Miss Hinglebottom was a perfectly absurd name. But the minute he utters her name he's horrified to find he'd chained himself to a real woman.

After experiencing the sinister mockery of the ton, Bethany Hinglebottom vows never to return to London. But when a Marquis appears offering her a fairy tale romance, she braves the whirls of the social Season for the chance at love. Confused by his heated looks and lukewarm manner she is determined to make an impression, praying her accident-prone tendencies won't make an appearance. But while the reality of their match lays hidden in the shadows, her love deepens for a man that seems to be the answer to her dreams.

Rating: Contains graphic sexual content.
