How to Get Away with Marriage

From the author of The Gardner Girls comes a delectable new spin-off series where a fake engagement brings together a loveable rogue and a young lady with mysterious secrets.
The most wanted rogue in London…
Hugh Cavendish—mischievous rogue extraordinaire—has been declared one of the season’s most eligible bachelors. The new title does not sit well with him…nor does the news that a former flame has announced her intent to “catch” him before the season is through.
Determined to buy himself a temporary reprieve, Hugh conscripts a simple school miss into playing the role of his fiancée. What a lark!
This was not the kind of solution she had in mind…
Beatrice “Triss” Weston is a simple, practical young woman, who does not believe in putting up with nonsensical games—like the one proposed by this smooth-talking rogue. No respectable young lady would agree to such a bizarre offer, but desperate times call for desperate measures. As Beatrice is forced to give up her position as a teacher, accepting employ as part of Hugh’s sham becomes her only option.
Courting more than scandal…
But as Triss’s complicated past catches up with her, their ruse becomes a more shocking adventure than either of them could ever have anticipated. As Hugh’s faux fiancée’s secrets come to light, he faces a momentous decision: accept Triss for who she truly is or allow the woman he has fallen in love with to walk out of his life forever
How to Get Away with Marriage is a standalone romance with a happy ending. However, it concludes with a semi-cliff-hanger relating to secondary characters, which sets up the overarching mystery plot of the Must Love Scandal series.
