So when Hugh asks Minerva to pose as his fiancée while his mother is visiting, she knows that while the scheme sounds ludicrous, the offer is too good to pass up. Work as a woodcut engraver is few and far between, and the Merriwell sisters are nearly penniless. Minerva Merriwell has had to struggle to support herself and her two younger sisters ever since their feckless father abandoned them. Until he collides with a beautiful woman, who might just be the miracle he needs. But when Hugh learns his interfering mother is on a ship bound for England, he realizes his complicated, convoluted but convenient ruse is about to implode. So Hugh invents a fake fiancée to keep his mother’s matchmaking ways at bay. Unfortunately for him, his mother is determined to find him one, even from across the other side of the ocean. The last thing Hugh Standish, Earl of Fareham, ever wants is a wife. The first in a new historical rom-com series, a handsome earl hires a fake fiancée to keep his matchmaking mother at bay, but hilarity ensues when love threatens to complicate everything. “Virginia Heath’s fun characters and situations will have you laughing out loud! Don’t miss this wonderful read!” (Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times best-selling author) "Filled with fabulously British banter, wit, and heart, this delightful book is one of my must-read rom coms of the year." (Evie Dunmore, USA Today best-selling author of Portrait of a Scotsman )
