Con artist extraordinaire Emmaline Denford relishes her new
role as the miraculously recovered invalid, Baroness
Sedgwick. If she can play this role for a fortnight without
exposure, Emmaline's future will be secure. The main
obstacle to her success is convincing her surprised husband
to go along with the impersonation.
It took careful planning, but five years ago, Alexander
Denford, Baron Sedgwick, invented a subservient and sickly
wife, which kept marriage-minded women from harassing him.
His imaginary wife enables him to live the quiet life he
craves. When his faux wife arrives in his bedchamber, Alex
could not be more astonished. This wily minx strikes a hard
bargain with him and proceeds to charm those around him.
Emmaline transforms his dreary house into a warm home and
casts her spell on him with her beauty and indomitable
spirit. Alex quickly becomes besotted with his "wife."
As lady of the manor, Emmaline develops a weakness toward
Alex, which tempts her resolve and threatens her plans.
When Emmaline's dubious background is exposed, confusion
reigns and nothing is what it appears.
This is Ms. Boyle's best novel yet! SOMETHING ABOUT
EMMALINE is a clever and original story with a twist at the
end that will surprise and tickle readers. Ms. Boyle
delivers with a wild and outrageous tale guaranteed to earn
her accolades from her fans!
Or so it seemed to Alexander Denford, Baron Sedgwick, when
he made up Emmaline for the sole purpose of deterring the
ton’s marriage-minded ladies and their infernal matchmaking
mothers--thereby enabling him to enjoy his carefully
planned life in peace. So imagine his surprise when a
stunning stranger appears in his private bedchamber…and
brazenly announces that she is "Lady Sedgwick!"
Until a tempting lady turns his life upside down...
This "Emmaline" has been living by her wits her entire life-
-and dearly desires what the dashing, much chagrined rake
can provide: an entry into good society. In the meantime,
she is plunging his household into chaos and, worse still,
wreaking havoc with his heart. For there’s something about
her spirit and fiery sensuality that Alex is finding it
impossible to resist. But before he can make his perfect
love his actual bride, he’ll have to somehow become the
ideal husband he never dreamed he could be.
