Lady Tabitha Malton spends her days caring for her mother who feigns illness to keep Tibby at her side. Tibby can't bring herself to protest until The Mayfair Literary League proposes a new agenda—perform a bold act to catch the notice of their secret crush. Michael Shaw isn't the same man who left England's shores a decade ago to serve in the military, but his well-meaning mother doesn't seem to understand. Her insistence that he take a wife is driving him mad. How can he consider marriage when he feels broken and battered inside? Tibby isn't the same person either. She's grown into a beautiful woman whose intelligence and grace intrigues him at every turn. A "pretend" kiss upends his world until he's no longer certain what he wants with one exception—her. Tibby knows she's in over her head and has already lost her heart to the handsome captain. Will her bold move lead to love or heartache?
