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 Triss 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.
Author's Note:
Please note: How to Get Away with Marriage is a standalone-romance with a happy ending. However, the book concludes with a semi-cliff-hanger relating to secondary characters and which sets up the overarching mystery plot of the Must Love Scandal series.
