A fake courtship that’s not so fake
A British Lord escaping from an unwanted betrothal. An on-the-shelf American young lady obsessed with her art. A chance friendship turned to love.
Lord Oliver Easton, fourth son of the British Duke of Northcott, escaped the clutches of a desperate debutante trying to entrap him into marriage when he escorted his sister’s champion horse to the Wild West of Nevada. In America, Oliver could finally breathe and enjoy his new surroundings as a gentleman of leisure, until he literally ran into an innocent young woman coming into the general store. She fell on the ground, breaking a precious sculpture that crashed beside her.
For the past six years, Rose Newman managed to avoid the bevy of men her parents wanted her to marry. Suddenly being thrust into the company of the soft-spoken well-mannered Oliver Easton had her heart stirring. Together, they devise a way to spend time together without causing a scandal. They pretend to court each other.
What seemed like a logical way to gain a friendship turned into misery when their hearts forgot to remind them the courtship was a secret charade.
