Publisher's Summary

True love is often scandalous…

As her brother and sister prepare to make their Society debut, Kat Thistlewait vows to sit on the sidelines like a proper young lady. Fate has other plans, though, and when Kat tries to save her mischievous twin she lands herself in a compromising position with battle-scarred and world-weary French nobleman Jules Devereaux. Knowing that no lady of quality would ever overlook his imperfections, Jules agrees to marry Kat in order to save what little reputation she has left. A marriage of convenience isn’t what either desires, but love can grow from the most unlikely of sources.

Sweet and Clean Happy Ever After Period Piece...

Everything you could possibly want in a sweet, clean, happy ever after period piece. Kat tries to save her twin brother from himself and ends up in the wrong room, the Comte's room. When they are found together in the same bed, they are forced to become affianced. All through the story, Kat tries to think of ways to end her engagement because she wants a love match. The comte, war-weary and depressed over his early life, quietly goes along with as much dignity and honour as the situation allows. A foolish debutante, a true villain, and a France torn apart by war all go in to make this a truly enjoyable chick flick read. It was quite enjoyable and keeping with the genre, if not original.
