In the Arms of the Heiress (A LADIES UNLACED NOVEL)

It’s all fun and games
until someone falls in love…

Independent heiress Louisa Stratton is
going home to Rosemont for the holidays and, at the family’s request, she’s
bringing her new husband Maximillian Norwich, art connoisseur and artful lover,
the man she’s written of so glowingly. There’s one hitch—he doesn’t exist.
Louisa needs a fake husband, and fast, to make the proper impression.

Charles Cooper, captain of the Boer
War and with a background far from silver spoons or gilded cages, is so hard up
that even Louisa’s crazy scheme appeals to him. It’s only thirty days, not till
death do them part. What’s so difficult about impersonating a husband, even if
he doesn’t know a Rembrandt from a Rousseau?

The real difficulty is keeping his
hands off Louisa once there’s nobody around to see through their ruse. And then
there’s the small problem of someone at Rosemont trying to kill him. Keeping
his wits about him and defending Louisa brings out the honor he thought he’d
left on the battlefield. But when Louisa tries to protect him, Charles knows he’s found a way to
face his future—in the arms of his heiress.
