The Lady's Guide to Scandal

The Lady's Guide to Love, Book 5

A fake engagement with a notorious rogue?

How desperate does a woman have to be?

Taking him into her bed certainly isn't part of the plan.

But this rogue is simply too irresistible, and Cornelia's name is already mired in scandal.

What does she have to lose...?

Celebrated explorer Ethan Burnell has all the ladies swooning, but he's exactly the sort of "dangerous man" Cornelia has sworn off.

When Burnell's sister throws a Christmas house-party, intent on fixing him up with a bride, he sees only one way out.

A fake engagement for the duration of the festivities!

Cornelia knows she's crazy to agree to the plan, but has faith Ethan's "adoration" will bring other suitors running.

Can she put up with his cocky ways (without wringing his neck?)

The game is on!

What to expect: A bluestocking heroine who meets her match, a fake engagement, and a Christmas party that changes everything.
