Now, as the new Earl of Roscarrock, he has duties to fulfill, and a convenient marriage solves both their problems. So, he declares himself her fiancé!

Part of Sisters & Secrets
By Sadie King

Emotionally scarred former rake Thomas, the Earl of Ashenmoor, needs a woman to pose as the object of his affection. He enlists the help of the local newspaper’s matchmaker, the beguiling “Miss V V.” With no client suitable for his outrageous requirements, she surprises him by offering to fill the role herself…
For aspiring author Valerie, the ton’s scrutiny is a risk worth taking for the financial reward Thomas offers that could finally see her book published. Still, convincing Society that she’s caught the eye of the Earl is one thing, but denying the unexpectedly real connection between them is quite another…
