About the book
Miss Claire Carrington was the most independent young lady ever to scandalize the London ton with her refusal to bow to the dictates of fashion or the rules of ladylike deportment.
Andrew Tyson, the Marquess of Blagdon, was the most elegant and dashing gentleman that any husband-hunting beauty could want as her perfect match.
Clearly Miss Carrington and Lord Tyson were as different as night and day. In fact, there was only one thing in the world on which they agreed. Both would do anything to avoid the trap of marriage, even if their only way of escape lay in pretending to love each other....
