The Duke's Engagement Game

A high society, fake relationship Regency romance

The clock's ticking...

on their risky charade!

Louisa must convince her grandfather she's going to wed if she's to receive her inheritance and escape his tyranny! But the wallflower is a disaster debutante, and she's given up hope of finding a suitor. Until her brother's best friend, Thomas, Duke of Bonham, agrees to an engagement ruse...

Playing the part of Louisa's fiancé is a welcome distraction from his ducal burden, and a chance to help the woman Thomas always viewed as a sister. Except, after a stolen kiss, his feelings for her are anything but brotherly, making it harder to pull away when their game is up...

About the Author
Merrill, Christine: - Christine Merrill wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. During a stint as a stay-at-home-mother, she decided it was time to "write that book." She could set her own hours and would never have to wear pantyhose to work! It was a slow start but she slogged onward and seven years later, she got the thrill of seeing her first book hit the bookstores. Christine lives in Wisconsin with her family.
