A Proposed Hoax (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961727205)

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.
